Dark Rooms.

And continuing in the
same sombre tones...


Dark Rooms.

Well met these fellows
Shuffle through the pack
And ply their trade.

In deadly nightshades
Out the back
The bones of it
Entice invite.

In eye for eye
Through shuttered piers
To dark rooms
Do not enter here.
Imperfect forms
Unwind unreel
And silhouette
Down easy streets.

The wise men
Who brought
Nothing.
