Question: Found this poem on a gothic site - what do you make of it!?
"Bat Wings"

If you look into his eyes,
You’ll see there’s nothing there…

The whites only…
The whites only,
And they twitch in sync
With his arms,
And he heaves himself
To and fro,
Releasing a scream
As his veins become large
And erupt
Internally!.

If you look into his eyes,
You’ll see there’s nothing to be found…

The whites only…
The whites only,
And they roll eerily,
As do his joints,
And his skin peels
Layer by layer,
Falling to the ground,
Creating an odor -
Irremovable!.
Unbearable!.

If you look into his eyes,
You’ll see that nothing exists…

The whites only…
The whites only,
And he blinks for vision
And receives none,
So he thrusts a knife
To his throat,
Hoping to bleed blindness away,
Regain a prowler’s sight,
And forever remain
Immune!.

What ails him!?

He laughs…

What humors him!?

He screams…

What disgusting protrusions are those!?
