Two Silver Moons

The alley has silver sight,

two orbs shadowed in scarlet

with markings of death which

dance like demons in play.



That bruised throat is bared,

like werewolves' prey,

mangled and ravished, leaving

no signs of human remorse.



A crimson river dares to

escape the slitted carcass

as if it knows the workings

of forensics in this society.



Two sterling moons watch as

cerulean spreads over the scene,

using the dead as a model for

their eyes of eternal memories.



Last is the envelope,

blackness engulfing the lost one

with a zip of the wrist, she

is still breathing in that alley.



I feel her. That gin-baked

breath that rolls from her

blood, sour and sweet

much like the rotting ones.



She does not exist,

we choose to abandon her,

condemned as us all

in the light to the dark.
