The Silence

So, I'm a big Doctor Who fan, and the new season is the best one yet, and is totally freaky. This poem is in no way a spoiler, but tries to capture the utter creepiness that the new villains represent.

Go ahead, blink,

just don’t turn away,

for the sake of all humanity,

don’t turn away,

not yet.

Four black stitches,

ink on pale skin,

passing over that long

dark line,

four lines breaking

that long silence,

black suits on white shirts,

they want you

to forget their faces,

the shimmer in the corner

of a glimpse,

the sallow stares

looming over your dreams.
