Strangled by darkness.
It's eating us up.
Like a huge tooth monster.
The enamel on it's teeth are glowing at them.
In tones of bright red.
Scarlet maybe.
Wages of sin are death and they're dying.
It's Wednesday.
There are no sparkles.
Flat lights and flood lights.
Walking on water, cruising the pitch.
Only ice bergs we see.
We see them, they're melting.
They're wasting away.
The blades they are sharper.
Switch blades that flip.
A ripping yarn in the outhouses and barns.
Garden sheds and hoes.
Pretty maids, standing in rows, as if in nursery rhymes.
Melting ice bergs.
A sign of the times.
