I hear a cry,
so I ask what's wrong.
I see the sign,
while she sings a song.
The time is wasting,
and there she stays,
now she is screaming.
A red devil pours from her mouth,
she sits shaking,
and her condition goes south.
I don't know what's wrong,
I look around
and grab something strong.
The wind blows faster,
and I lift the girl up,
all is a disaster.
There she lays a breathless soul,
and beneath her face
lies her goal.
I see the terror,
and shed the last tear.
I heard a bloody cry,
the last thing to hear.
I put down my head,
my spirit drained,
I know she is dead.
The corner clock ticks one last time,
I hear another cry,
my next lullaby.
This is a haunting poem. I love the line "A red devil pours from her mouth." Powerful stuff!
