Noire Alley
Sssssst….."Silencesssssss……that'sssss…what I likesssss…."
The snake hisses and slithers incognito
In a dark alley lit by red lanterns
It believes all lives belong to it
A fool's belief, people may say
Words travel around returning with echoes
Banging sound waves to the head
Hurting the mind that holds a secret key
To a place where the slabs of the alley disappear
There are no walls, only a place with endless radiance
Bliss takes new forms ceaselessly altering its course
Faceless by night, pretender by day
In every mirror it sees, it becomes unrecognizable
In daylight, it wears a mask believing
In nightfall, it rips up the mask unbelieving
