The Joy Ride

dark moon prophecy
tears fall from her lashes
twisting and turning

the moon and the sun both
extinguished to protect their identity

cheap rolls unfurled
ferociously fight the terror
of the night

the harassed drops to his knees
what has he done?
the moon turns very pale
barely breathing

three tombs loom
at first light, like
creeping shadows
as the media
crowds the school
