she waits in velvet skies
so blue that hearts break
at the sight of her crystal tears
falling entranced dizzy glimmer
on our knees digging the dirt
clawing our pain shh

darkness is my sister
together we shall weep
never alone as we fade
as we melt into the fury
as we dive into the deepest deep
to be cradled to be blackened to be still

we who have hidden
who have closed the doors
& held tight to our secret fires
tending them in stolen moments
in silence in never never places

the sky the bluest black reflection Home
