“a dark wall”

Written for:  The Twiglets #294 - a dark wall


All lights
were neon
bright, flashing
against a black wall.


Darkened by shadows,
the wall was the only
way she could feel
her way home.


surrounded by
dark walls of stone
her own private cave


He had one wall painted dark red
Nothing more about it was said
'til she went to see him
saw altar, him kneelin'
front of black candles, 'neath row of shrunken heads.
