death's child

i sleep, curled up in my cradle of sorrow
dreaming dreams of a lost tomorrow,
i awaken, crying out for another
and feel the icy embrace of my mother.
she sings with a voice silenced by time,
her unbeating heart pressed against mine.
i look up into her loving face
her eyes are a dark and empty place
her fingers in my gossamer hair
cold and boney, soothing my fear.
i feel myself drifting, the sleep of the dead
she lays me down in my satin lined bed
and leaves me, curled up in my cradle of sorrow
dreaming dreams of a lost tomorrow.
