When the Hands Show

#VocalNPM

By Skyler SaundersPublished 7 years ago 1 min read
Who we are.

They rush like spiders and hold hands, Tethered.

The weapons that they use like the poker

Let them survive the storm that they weather.

Blood spills and the film becomes a soaker.

The family employs the boats and cars.

The shiny scissors tear into the flesh.

The gold flashes with menace and leaves scars.

But the idea to fight them is fresh.

The only gun that appears is a flare.

Their battle scorches on the scene with bite.

To watch the film is somewhat of a dare.

When the hands show, the movie gains its might.

Doppelgängers abound in this picture.

If you watch it, be sure to note scripture.
