Swarms of bullets nettle his skin 
Like sesame seeds
Urge him to shiver
To shake them off

Clouds of webs muffle my ears
The widow charms me
Spawns her eggs like sesame seeds
At least she creates life
I think

Mists of venom enclose his eyes
Perforate his iris 
I saw black dots
Like sesame seeds 

Thoughts mingle 
Words combine
Smiles create 
No cure but
Relief 
Am 
!

Our voices, whitish
Like milk
Nourish our soul
Swill
Away away
Gone for now

Dark and tiny
Sharp and shiny

Our sesame seeds.
