tightened grip of the halo enlightened noose
where ravenous shadows retreat to their internal mangled roost.
Conversational debates of the best artificial bait
to lace a verbal knotted rope to entice an ill-conceived fate
and offer a low ranking system in which to outwardly rate.
Good bystand the grandiosely clawing, delegating ascendants
to fall witness to the only living mortal remnants.
The waving, ever shining, skeletal pendants.
