Night out on the town

A skitter.

Crawling. Scratching. Feeding.

Can dig again, but they always disappear.

Melting into elastic walls.

Crusty bedsheets. Four Loko. Gaia's sins. Hair.

Forgotten familiarity.

 A crackling drone. Livid snow. Wailing against a glass prison.

Mother is awake. She must be hungry.

Twitching feelers searching for a dank haven.

Always searching, finding only lies.

Shuffle in. Flickering spite. Mother smiles in sleep. Cute.

A flash. A buzz. A vacuum.

Acessorize. Less metal this time. Pedestrian.

Shave. Trim. Tic Tac. A note.

"Mother shies from dark meat". So picky.

Hat. Gloves. Boots. Goggles. Door.

Calvacade of sounds.

Barks, bursting wooden mallets. Twisting sinews of sirens.

Phlegmy whine of the A/C. Shrouded ghouls ascend to taste air. 

Unseeing plastic eyes glare. Smile and wave, smile and wave.

Blasting metal across the road. HORSE. Birdo.

Rolling cascades of hollow thumps. Lurking behind, lying all the while. Geat migration.

Slide into the throng. Sideways glances, narrowed slits.

They shiver, though there is lack of cold.

Pulsating waves, ebb and flow. A watchful moon. A grand audience.

Beam and wave, beam and wave. Ultraviolent light.

A squeal of delight. An embrace. A tic. No tac.

Arrival. A spliff, a spark, a buzz.

I'm a koosh ball.

Waiting...waiting...waiting.

Wet mist. Obsidian plated with speckled gold.

Vibrating growls, mechanical steeds, belching penumbrae of progress.

Spindly legs, mandibular vacuity.

Marching to the hole, follow the pheremone trail.

God save the Queen. Ba'al save the drone.

A honeyed circle.

Waiting. 

Waiting for ionic slate.

Waiting for a plaything of fate.

Waiting for the string to break.

A mimic. The question of the unprepared equipped.

Exposition. Pliable. Soft eyes. Milky.

Perfect.

A flash. A squelch. Muscle memory. Efficient.

Crimson haze. Nails. Gnashing teeth. Leather is tough.

The box is stocked. Mother is so reliable. Another spliff.

Waiting again. Temporal window opens, letting in a sweet breeze.

Luna grins, so very softly. So pure. Salute.

Shower. Eat. This one will be better.

Mother still smiles. So happy. She needs a tan.

She always reprimands bringing work to bed. can't help it.

Release.

Quiet. Bargained time.

They'll come back. They always do. 

Searching for the dark.

Fanciful Minimalism

Beaudelaire, I think coined that one. Or was it Sacrates - I get them confused ;D ~~A~~
