There was nothing
laid
before me
there was nothing
quite
complete
filling up
my mouth
so sweet
and leaving me
with thoughts
of greed...

There was NOT
a thing UNdone...
there was NOT
my only one...
quivering
beneath the sheets
every map lamplit by street..
we are there, together, no?
within the light of a halo,
of every flame adrip in show--
I beg of you--let's dance flambeau!

May the shadow
cast the meaning
every silence rest
is keening--
every wail a tongue of will--
every tear a love in spill...

Mercy
this you find in me
Mercy
You'll abide in me....
Faith
My hand a summoned quest
Faith
the trust of fingers wept...

I will dip the nun's sweet noon...
holiness, cannot come soon,
and each priest I thought heard me
was just another fantasy.

Everything? I lose...I find.
Not quite at the time, I MIND.
Everything? I was before?
Was just another padlocked door.

This reminded me of the confessional and boy that's been years!

   it really is an exceptional piece.
