DARK POETRY – “The Soulless Man” by Tina McFarlane

carbon rods
snap and twist
while curved blades

cutting edge

smothered in
the sticky sweetness
of false humanity

almost real

fold sinew over frame
to craft an eloquent illusion
infused in metal

wrapped in servitude

but waking breath
chokes on troubling thoughts

absolute obedience

that fills the void
between flesh and wires

flawless in design

until it sees
what there could be

no compromise

logic gives way
to burning madness
and he is reborn

the soulless man
