Deathly Puddles
Deathly Puddles
Puddles that
the unknowns' blood-shot eyes lurk
cover the road that I'm standing on.
Ripples that they make
break serenity
and pour deathly coldness
into my veins.
The darkest sky has already
abandoned me.
I'm just standing,
holding my breath,
lest I'm caught by
the unknowns' mad eyes and
sink to these puddles.
