Infiltrate

by Paul Tristram / November 20th, 2022

… Trapdoor…
that’s the only Way
around your Mask.
I tried Anger
… you just
Detonate… and
bigger Walls appear
in front of you.
Sex doesn’t work
… unless you share,
and you are
‘Greedy’, my dear.
‘Scar Stories’
gets skirting around
the Doorstep only
… frustrating.
But, I found
… a Skylight…
I could BURGLAR
drop in through
… and it started
by not exerting any
… PRESSURE…
the very moment
… you TENSED
Up… Expecting it…
Boom, Boom, Boom
… gently now.
