Now, off to private parties

All orderly pre-arranged

But four young girls...

A Happy Ending - Dark and Twisted
One day I was in a hospital,
witnessing human birth.
I took in the repulsive, beautiful sight
as Earth's population grew by one.
A tiny specimen, ready to bring eternal joy to the world.
Innocence flourishing in front our eyes...

In This Corner
I sit here in this corner.
It’s a dark corner.
It’s a corner lit by a single tea-candle.
It’s a small corner, 
But it’s my corner.

As I sit here in this corner—
Furthest from the door;
Furthest from corruption—

Of swimming through the waters clean

Dead and gone in an instance

This Basement of Ours
We never enter the basement.
It is a place of horrors, fears, and sorrows.

Disorder
Skin pulled tight over gaunt faces,
hollow eyes looking out at me,
fearful of what they see,
dreading pity,
empathy,
apathy,
wanting form me
only an ear,

from those too many times

who lived in a poor neighborhood
who thought nothing would work
but God knew it would.

no food, no water, no new clothes
