....Walking Corpses....

The sun bearing down, taking aim

Taking, with its hot scorching flame

Walking corpses, looking for shade ~

A life for a Soul, soon they'll trade

A Soul for a life....

The beginning of their pain!?

Choking on ashes, upon invisible plates

Porcelain castles, with a storm on the way ~

On the way to their ashes, the end of their daze

The Sun bearing down....

And taking aim; taking, the turning

Of their turning away; away?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....“Walking Corpses” ~
