Wilted flower beds
no storm, no thunder
undertones of evil
circling like crows
even in their absence
I hear their cries
something wicked
is happening here
despite the moonlight
darkness is blooming
shadows behind smiles
a blade softly glinting
eyes too wise for innocence
I cannot look away
suddenly fading to echoes
