this winter’s day
crashes crimson
in the red madness
of pleading light
bleeding
beneath a sinking sun

he is chained
to dwindling brilliance
a prisoner of frigid rapture
frozen and manacled
to the barren ecstasy
of her need

and we are left in longing
to gaze dimly at the stars
as night slides gently
across the shoulders of the world
with the comfort and peace
of an old soldier’s cloak
steeped
in the smoke and thunder
of extinct dreams
