The Mercy Position

Night flows through my hands
It’s ink, stains the air with conclusive proof of darkness
Pooled in my lap, seductions entangle their sleek words
These circles, my mind wanders relentlessly the same
But for under the door, barely a thread of tranquility

Set my logical mind aside for the moment, as the moon
For clearly, it is my heart that winds the hairs of discontent
Super cells, in winds that lift and scatter an amazing charge
Three bells, each louder, press harder to be heard
Thick, before my eyes, of oil or coal, dyes opaque the room

I lay here, in the weight of without you, so heavy for an echo
Pulling warm in faith, the shiver over curve exposed
Silently I wonder, if the glimmer of light just visible there
Is really the polished diamond that you hold in your heart
Or did I dream in gemstone
