Crystal Skulls

Chattering teeth

Flashing smiles like grimaces

They never speak true,

These crystal skulls.

Sparkling, flashy

Like Las Vegas lights

Embedded with diamonds,

Models on runways,

They hunger for me,

These crystal skulls.

Rigid in their shapes,

But everchanging in light

Eye-catching candy

Beautiful and intriguing,

They lie to me,

These crystal skulls.

Diamonds flashing rainbows at me

Blinded by sparkles

Seeing white lights,

Death and perfection,

They shape and change me,

These crystal skulls.

Surrounded by crystal skulls,

Resting on thin stick-bodies

Whispering.

Flat square teeth

Eyes caught above,

Unable to see their hands,

Wielding sharp knives and pens

They kill and cut me,

These crystal skulls.
