The Unwanted Drain

Her eyes meander vacantly,
unfeeling of the maggots snaking uncouth wires.
Whispering taps may lay unheeded,
but for the tainted morsels- remnants
of charitable souls, that slaked
undying pangs of rage.
Still, the wild Medusa would strike, when provoked:
turning sudden ghastly trembles,
by ensnaring snares;
hissing at confused ridicules, spites, or whistles.
Disbelieving in retrospect,
saline tears drench her volatile past,
compel her void existence
to slacken fears, and stay disengaged
and lynched forever.
