Glass Dolls

Glass Dolls
March 2012
by Me(whatever)

Little kiki wandered
Alone,
Outside of the cheerful city
soaring among the melting crystal
watching her own breath
sink into the sky.

She stuck her red hands
Into the wet wool blanket
shivering and yelling
To katie
whose figure was made transparent
by large insects.

Exchanging strikes of powder spheres
kiki and katie played until dusk
and when the sun became sick gold
a glimmer had caught
katie's eye
and she called out to kiki.

"Wait! Don't Go! Look!
My friend of all, come see!
Before you leave you must at least
Come and see my cozy nook
that I have made my home!"

And kiki looked,
and she found
a small abandoned empty shack
standing alone
But curiosity always kills the cat
and kiki left her hat.

As she entered katie disappeared,
yet unnoticed by a fly
the spider strings strung across every corner
creeping down
upon an oblivious puppet
and reached her.

Familiar colored beady eyes
Reached the Blue of kiki's
though disguised the same
Her porcelain skin
and imaged rosy cheeks
were actually
Green-eyed jealousy.

And kiki was gone
taken in by a riddle,
the transparent betrayer in her body,
Gone.
Other voices of loneliness
took kiki as their friend.

She wanted escape only
she was afraid
and ashamed
of the same betrayed desperation
Purple katie gave
was hers

"Will you stay here forever?
With Missy and I
You know we might have to
kill
But stay.....
Please stay.....

kiki turned silent as days
spiralled into nights
of pitch-black fear, however
crawling
Nearer
a single child of replacement

Yet the hope did not meet
those now green Dark blue eyes,
and before a warning came
a misplaced step
and silent screams
came Shattered Glass.
