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.
