VILE REMINDERS

Spirits stand statue with following eyes-
Pillars of fire that whisper the lies-
Cross glare a path for the sinner in me-
To find where to walk wash my sinning soul clean-

Father please slaughter these aliens-

Father I see them digging graves in the yard-

Mother I know you can't cradle me again-

But tell the son I'll give the sun one more try-

Through hallway shadows move slowly to doors-
I feel the cold rising from cracks in the floor-
Catching my breath though breathing ghosts in-
Knocking blood knuckles staining wood symbol red-

Father please slaughter these sheep in the field-

They all have gone mad from the dense chemicals-

Mother I know you can hear me by bed-

Praying for your hand to comfort me once again-


It's so hard to lean into the light  -

Please give me one small beam at a time-

If you hear me whimper to tone into scream-

Kick the door in
tear the walls down
Let the light in
to consume me.............
