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.

.

Mother cannot be redeemed;

Dahlia's just a smelly seed.
