They introduce themselves by
Humming childhood lullabies
In reverse
Lips, plot twists and savagery
whispers cursed
Crawling within like spiders emerging from chrysalis
Passing their omens along
Busy bodies an open industry
How they thrive it makes them alive with tasks
Masks a specter
Offering libations
Laced kaleidoscopes
Illusions of fun and delight
Their reflection slightly off one
As they ensnare you
If you encounter mischief makers
Life takers
Partaking in
Disrupting lives
With outright lies
Equipped with sharpened knives
Be sure to protect yourself
To recognize
and be smart to sever ties
