---

In a dark night

with longings kindled love.

Oh blessed chance.

I went forth without being

Observed.

My house already being

at rest.

The ends of the earth of the earth,

the center of your mind.

Breathing a wicked sunrise.

Standing around the dissonance.

Feeling the sounds of the opaque grin.

A sight beyond your breath.

Can’t see the word upon your brow.

Can you swim to where I stand?

I bowed to the colorful swarm

decades of fear.

Lustful and light.

Trembling like a dove gone awry.

I can’t see another feeble sigh.

Did you want this light to lead you away

and be with those you wish had stayed?

Has life not held you by the hand

to guide you right where you stand?

Shout thy name,

you pleasant swine.

A cold dark stare, I’ll drink my wine.

Blackened, crisp, and swarming near,

gather ‘round for all to hear.

Blackened, crisp, and swarming near,

gather ‘round for all to hear.

I am without essence.

I am lost in existence.

So loud they are

yet they speak of nothing worthwhile.

Real life awaits us.
