within, sickening silence
beneath the shadow
we huddle
Take them, we heard
saw gaping maws
pounding fists
at which he thrust us
Till hands grabbed us away
to drop on an open plane
outside the roiling city
But we remain as found
no future no path
a cave within
swallowing us down, down down
***
a shadow within
the doorway between
and the pit of not-knowing, not-seeing
she turned to see
froze a tear-pillar
we walked where we were
tears locked behind
the doors of our lids
frozen in our knowledge
of already knew
that we are prey
for the taking
exposed in the sun
