China dolls
It has been a while
since i saw the scarecrow
at the broken cemetary gates
ringing a bell to summon
the china dolls with
coins as eyes from
the porcelain wishing wells,
they marched clockwise
baptised the moon out
from the silk skies,
bribed me for truths and lies
about the human race.
they spoke darkly about
a man with blood, scars
and a beautiful face
who would return with a case
full of thorned crowns.

I love the imagery - very surreal.
