_Lament Machine Beta
by : gadiv
device : free verse, meter broken
describe : And it has nine yards of teeth left.

The machine screams
Whirring listlessly
Rows of pistons pumping pools
Of blood and oil
Through metal veins

The vocal chords
Rattle hollowly
Reeds with razor edges cut
Words into lines
For mirrored tongue

A loosened tooth
Sucked free and spat
Hums like a bullet over
Latex lips blow
A lethal kiss

The machine screams
