Mrs. Frankenstein
believed that recycling
begins with one’s self.

16
Two darks make one light.
The kiss that both blinds and binds
burns with true passion.

17
She was in his mind.
Her nails dug into his thoughts
as she dined on brains.

18
Her lips were blood red—
Sweet, simulated kisses
and gears for a heart.

19
Sweet, sugar skull songs
remind us to stay alive
by running faster.

20
Cold, porcelain heart
and glassy eyes that don’t cry—
a lack of remorse.

To celebrate February as Women in Horror Month (WiHM11) and National Haiku Writing Month (NaHaiWriMo).
