Placed in the pit
hands bound, heads down
drawn to the circle of bliss
the worms cried out
the kindling set
the mocking laughter rose.
Four black words written backwards and bleeding
i saw their stink and
rejoiced
in their twisting and burning
i saw them reach out, saw them weep
hands clutching and yearning
for mercy.
