At This Moment
Someone turns the light on
looks down the barrel of a
gun
Has their first sex
regretting it, remembering it
warmly
Looks for the last time
into their lover's
eyes
Has a knife held to their neck,
holds the handle of the
knife
Slides into a deep hollow
rushes into glittering
waves
Lies in dust, their blood red
body cradling a dead
child
At this moment
you read these words
quietly...
...darkness lies in wait for
you - the long expected
surprise.
