i think anyone who's been there and read the book so to say will be well tuned in to this bugger. sitting feels weak considering what it represents, also would a specific type of bird add something more? i have Teflon netting wrapped round my heart as so much of it was cut away; this poem is about me at times. though thankfully i've lived through too much panic to let it not bother me anymore.

Death: a bird
sitting on my shoulders
with razor sharp beak: no need for 'with'
stroking my carotid artery: the best line, death caressing his victim to be.
waiting to strike again.
I feel you there
and the panic begins to rise.
