Pedro  

A shrine to illusionary bliss

A smoke screen memory

Whispers in your ear

The sly one calling you to agonizing death

Your mind is a haven for serpents

Poison seeping outward

Fire mars your night sky

An effigy of self annihilation

Smoke circles and a sizzling rain

Fire rises in spiral circles

Mingling with smoke

In hideous ways
