The Barber (Poem)

in Freewriters4 months ago

There’s a strand of madness in the mirror –
the scissors make it shiver.

Hair grows to its execution –
the mirror watches murder.

Falling locks are its prison –
the razor silences a million shrieks.

Each hair, once threaded to life,
is ripped from its roots.

The floor is cleansed of its corpses,
the mirrors madness swept away.
