Oil perculates from the deep yellow skin,
a false smile perfereates deep from within,
the heart feels like this could be a sin,
waiting for the alarm to go off so I could begin.

as if my skin is rotting flesh,
littered with whirring,
ravenous flies.
My skin, dark as the shroud
that invades my bedroom every night
