Creation Redeemed

After Midnight The narcissists fall After Midnight A new lyric calls After Midnight Last bugle to blow After Midnight There’s more left to know After Midnight The lizards collect After Midnight Old tales to reflect After Midnight The ticking will stop After Midnight The bottom will top After Midnight A cancerous tome After Midnight Malignancy known After Midnight Betray and deceive After Midnight Alone in the siege After Midnight All footsteps fall deaf After Midnight Lost palates are cleft After Midnight New story to front After Midnight Two stars for the dunce After Midnight The comets rebel After Midnight The coroners yell After Midnight A suit made of steel After Midnight Its melting reveals After Midnight That voice in the back After Midnight There’s no turning back After Midnight A sacred oath sworn After Midnight All memory forlorn After Midnight The wheels bend and churn After Midnight Lost vision returns After Midnight False birth is stillborn After Midnight Old vestments are torn After Midnight The here and the now After Midnight That one sacred cow After Midnight Past-Future unseen After Midnight —creation redeemed (Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
