Shine a light on them.
The ladies drum up a rhythm with their presence
The party flocks to them
Their essence draws
Eyes and energy
-
Their sisterhood sustains them
When there is no hydration or nourishment to be had
Emboldens them
When insecurity tries to enter their force field
Revitalizes them
When the party suctions off too much of their light
-
Shine a light on them
They huddle closer to block out the intruding beam
It's weakened their vision
The unnatural light dulls their vibrancy
And disorients from their path
They tarry in circles
Rotating out of each others orbit
Neighbors that are light years away from each other
-
No one knows where they are
Their families wail their memory
Yelp their names
Till their vocal chords crackle
No one
Shines a light on them
