Toxic

The wings grew heavy
around toxic mouths
with black tongue bitters
the drink of the day

no need for appetite
this midnight,
for they, who sing the darkness
will be consumed

we dance in rain
as if they weren't watching,
while watching them struggle
with no feet

they worship their weak
in the thick of their own mud
and power dissolves
as they drink their own poison

tick tock
goes the clock
the circle turns, and
Granny, smiles as she sings

�no more songs of lullaby,
just dirges of sparrows
as we stitch tightly,
their cowardly lips�

� Sasha '06
