Fractured

The lines
Writhe like snakes  
As I write out—  
Scream out?—  
The colors penetrate  
The senses.  
Demand an audience  
With the Queen.  
Check.  
It\'s not going,  
Not going at all.  
The demons.  
Diamonds?  
No, demons.  
Shine on,  
Shine off.  
The words melt  
Into the fractured  
Crevices of the mind.
