No ReflectionA Poem by Terry Ellis
No Reflection They walk alone like dark cold stones thrown beneath the graves.
A feast they seek of blood in vein to quench the lust they feel.
To smother the fire, scratch an itch, you might say,
They hunt for a perfect 98.6.
Like meat for man the feast is best
When stored in the human breast.
Eyes red as crimson, teeth sharp as razors
They convince themselves they’re doing us a favor.
They suck their fill and leave a shell of bones to go to hell.
No satisfaction ever gotten
Just one more rotten corpse for a chompin’.
When eye-to-eye they crave for just one more,
A curse handed down from the grave.
If they only could see what they have become,
They might take a step back in time.
But a mirror-less image is what they reflect
And will never realize their own crimes.
