Analysis of Hanging Shadows In The Nights Darkness
-when the daring witch
-cried in the night watch
-but the bouncing baby
-died so shamefully
-without a price
-in the hew hours
-of the eventful morning
-of the earthly c*ck crow
-who will pretend not to hear
-the smelling source
-of the unprovoked
-sudden death
-that the hanging shadows
-of the deadly hands
-that slipped through
-the iron doors at night
-to cut off the innocent soul
-under the warming wrappers
-of the watchful mother
-in a strange stroke of luck
-that is ladden with tears
-tears of a mocking darkness
-denying someone their precious joy..
