Chapter 70 - Rotten Fruit of the Spoiled Tree

---- Consume, consume,

These fiends will be her doom! 

Mother's space, her resting place, 

the apartment's nightly state 

— where the entity stays.

There is no sound

All except the music that holds me down. 

.

I can't hear myself 

Yet I feel distressed.

.

This plane is a wall 

Between life and death.

Here is where the cadavers commence!

.

I am not dead,

This will be mother's end.

.

I cannot reach the living 

Because I occupy her world,

Where parasites can torment the soul.

.

The canary of birds

Swirl and swirl,

Bright lights form the room,

Suddenly, my bedroom is the moon,

She is bummed like fumes.

.

The sweet will continue her visits

Not the vestry's wishes,

And her human seed will forgo an eternal possession,

Her mouth is the entrance.

.

The plane is a wall 

Between life and death,

where cadavers commence.

.

Jezebel has kept mother trapped in her world

Where rotten apples mold

Worms wiggle from the holes

That Dahlia will forever hold.

.

Dahlia is the next fruit to be 

From the spoiled apple tree —

Where the worms eat her insides

And her eyes are catatonic like night.

.

I shall see more of her sweet,

how Jezebel fed off her human seed. 

This is the liminal space,

between love and hate,

where life and death separate.

.

My room is my sanctuary,

not her obituary, 

love, peace, and support

feelings that my mother cannot hold,

because the tree is rotting her mold

where she cannot be redeemed,

Dahlia's just a smelly seed.
