Buried lights in winter
Rusting souls and slot machines;
supermarkets full of neon.
I see them enslaved and chained;
empty eyes through a mirror.
They sit there in Purgatory;
begging for absolution.

In Vegas I see them every time I go to the supermarket playing on slot machines.

I appreciate the religious imagery and neon duality. Concise and effective.
