Shadow Bang Poem by Casey Renee Kiser / snail viXen

Darkness-
stroke me like a kitten
again
You went away for a bit
to punish me? To scare me?
To keep me in line?
You know me-
I will not stray
I only looked around (maybe too long)
But I never took off this black collar

I'll start whispering,
to you (retracing) my steps
since you last held me close
I won't leave out any details
Light the moon another cigar
Creep up,
cover my mouth
Throw me down like
you missed me
I'm your rag doll, infinitely loyal
