This is a little poem I wrote a long time ago

Beware the Witchpool

From the corner of mine, a witchpool of an eye 

Mako enamel flicks greying slick 

Mandibles' curl with gems gleam

Stolen birds'-egg eye, dishonest, milky-tea white.

White coals glow grey in darkness 

Unwavering, rapier indifference

Unspoken plans undisturbed

'Congratulations', it purrs, the very air malign 

A plagiarised knife-smile, seven hundred and seventy six sinews, all box-fresh, unused

Thanks, a hurried request

Gratefully, the door closes
