Benevolence

Need mercy for a 
Freudian slip.
I was sitting on a window.

The light went out 
from the eyes of the masterpiece. 
Only stones were left.

Give me the figurine. 
I wanted to cut open the navel 
and find out the blue god.

Will you pull the chariot 
of moon ? The black horses 
will not send the blessings.

The dawn was still hiding 
in a bunker. First you feed 
a child and then kill the rising sun.
