Invasion Poem by Dorsey Baker

Close your eyes
and see the demons
with their faces of every
shape and size
face to face and
in profile
their eyes dark
and brooding pointed chin
and slick black hair
atop their heads
wet tongues lashing out
leading a flock of people
to a place of darkness
and then locking them within
these demons their powers express
in moments of despair and distress
they come out
boldly to attack
and nothing but the light
can turn them back!
