winding
The blood flows
And winds around her ankles
As cats as black as plague
Walk streets lined with the dust of broken
Dreams
The dust of the world
The dust on used cars sold on empty lots
Time moves on crushing us in it’s iron wake
Lights, weeping, regrets at the wake
In my dreams as I wake I walk these silent halls
Silent as a tomb silent as the sleeping animal in us all
The animal with no agonies stalks it’s prey
The desperate mother the dying child for whom she prays
A silken touch in a night as dense as lush as rich as only summer nights can be
A slap a curse in a day as hard as clod as pitiless as only winter days can be
The day the worlds ends perfect peaceful
The night the world was born pain and promise
A kiss sweet simple and new
The rose
The thorn
And the blood flows
And winds around her ankles
As cats as black as plague
Walk streets lined with the dust of broken
Dreams
The dust of the world
The dust on used cars sold on empty lots
Time moves on crushing us in it’s iron wake
Lights, weeping, regrets at the wake
In my dreams as I wake I walk these silent halls
Silent as a tomb silent as the sleeping animal in us all
The animal with no agonies stalks it’s prey
The desperate mother the dying child for whom she prays
A silken touch in a night as dense as lush as rich as only summer nights can be
A slap a curse in a day as hard as clod as pitiless as only winter days can be
The day the worlds ends perfect peaceful
The night the world was born pain and promise
A kiss sweet simple and new
The rose
The thorn
And the blood flows
