Death Shadow
DEATH'S SHADOW!
Death has a shadow of an effervescent wall.
A whore is defined but to never exist in the world.
This child is of spirit and soul but death’s shadow savors her.
A girl lies in her resting place,
To sleep and dream up beautiful images.
Where the darkness is light relishes.
Brothels of men appear.
She is only four years point six months old.
Prophecies begin to unfold.
Was she the chosen one?
She does not enjoy what has formed.
She runs into her mother’s room.
Highly favored, she is consoled.
She is held closely until she falls asleep.
Her mother tucks her in.
Phantasm is this girl transition into her spiritual orbs.
She sees each body normal with her bare eyes.
She does not ogle.
Through fear, she embraces slumber.
Dynamism will be known.
Death’s shadow is unveiled.
