The day is closing in a grungy gloaming of air filled with particles that are wet fitting feel for those in mourning While across the veil no longer chained light and feathered flight proclaimed surrounding joy and music made of opening Still the flesh can feel the splinters as the bones of upright walking lay down the scream and see the passage They call a tortured plea for life to keep to late to stay the gate they hear its quiet closing Not possible to see the light the drain of life is so enclosing it trickles back into the pool and torches flicker with the grim of how and why and how again Shhh he calls in lullaby to baby's cry there is no end only filigree of silk blooming then a melting prism encompassing of perfect quilt |
