Darkness-darkness...
dream the wound
blood-spotted
on orange moon
tricks of eye
and compromise
darkness drifting
silver tune
across the mottled
skin of beat
darkness dings
on tambourine
tossing coins
of rhythm--shine...

Darkness-dark
in dirge entwined
fingers held
to ring the bell
Dinner served
of sacrifice
smell the blood
in drip on coal
assurance
of
it is
all right...

Level now
within the gauge
bubble dancing
mocking rage
of here and there
and back again--
until the bubble
bobs the sane
middle road of certainty--
Darkness-Darkness
make me tame
and feel the sweat
in pour from knees
in the crease of "almost there"
as the salt annoints my feet...

Drifting darkness
shadows play
shivering
the body--flayed
as ribbon
of the past appears
Dark me dreaming
now--away...
Notice now the lakes of moon...
proof that once, water was there.
Or is it just a crater'd beach--
grit of sand in grind of bare
where darkness dreamed to be
a light--
the dark makes candlelight

sacred...

Its a wonder what one can construe from a poem that is so wonderfully written. Your words unfolded into a moving picture in my mind so clear and fluid. It may not of been the story of what you wrote but I thank you for the vision the was bestowed upon me by your powerful write.
