No one must see you
living
like they do.

The Hell
in the starlit
conflagration,
the one which has polemicized
your phenocryst
intrusion
is the shape of this world,
should never lay naked
for their vain
sacreligion.

Their nonplussing fingers
will murder you.

Stay jellied
and safe
in your
slipcase,

asleep
in my glass
universe.

It's great how you introduce a fear ("intrusion/is the shape of this world") and then come up with a sort of non-solution ("Stay jellied/and safe").

I've read through all the comments and I agree that the end is strong, but wouldn't hit home so well without the first three stanzas.

Great work. :nod:
