Poison Ring

My poison ring flashes
pending court date
my back remember the
painful lashes
naked skin
remembering the sin
gaping flesh
no healing mesh

Quietly I slip away
fill the silver ring
poison I plan to bring
push the naïve souls to safety
as I go on trial
the beast
with his toothless grin waits

Cold & calculated
watching as the
toxin drips
a smile
escapes
my ruby lips
