Draft....I'll finish this later

Children let loose in alleyways,
abandoned and partially naked,
roam the depths of the undiscovered alone, together,
unaware of what they've lost

Sensitivity towards touch
their audacity: boiled itself into the form of blisters
with eruption a withstanding threat
calloused skin so thorough their nerves are lacking
their blood runs thick
a shell, a protective mess,
a corrupt sense of ethics,
and emaciated, brushing against the fingertips of decay-

they scream at night,
whisper their fantasies in my ear,
in the air,
of lascivious and rash acts based upon no logic,
upon the oath only of a feral kitten and a rat's half eaten body
