They Have No Reflection

by PygmyPuff   Jan 27, 2008


Lightening punches through thunder
hiding whispered breaths
spoken light as a feather.

Children tremble in the corners
waiting to be called
to be the next one used.

Desire and nightmares blend
together into one;
a hellish incubus.

The only thing left behind
is the spiced scent of
the exploitation of a child.

It's like listening to the sea
but only through a seashell,
as raindrop slides down my window.

Two thousand eyes of righteousness
will close tonight
as the sun meets the horizon.
