zone of interest

by

the deep fix

there's a chronic rift

a schism

it's not quite a hole

or a void unfilled

or any other ism

welcome friend

enemy

you are no guest

don't come in

to the zone of interest.

bones turns to dust

it's the season in hell

not quite winter

but you can't tell 

in the image of man

come on in

unfamiliar stranger

but do not rest

when you find yourself in

this zone of interest
