long black nail

 

slowly a long black fingernail approaches my forehead

it doesn't frighten me as it comes closer it is shaking slightly

it makes first contact with my flesh and I gasp in air

from just below my hairline it moves slowly down

i only feel a slight pressure as it traces along

as it reaches the bridge of my nose it stops

i feel something running further down to the tip

it forms a drop then falls to my palm

it's crimson and she takes it onto her finger

lifting her finger to her black lips she tastes

looking directly into my eyes she smiles

she raises her hand before my face and smiles

she points her finger toward the gash between my eyes

she swiftly plunges it into the slit on my forehead

she invades my mind and I feel no deep pain

only the immortality of this infinite unity
