Knife's Edge

The new moon 
is of a chilled northern night.
It is unseen as it fluxes the sea.

On the Midnight edge 
of this sea there rests a graveyard, 
whose ethereal voice 

is hushed by the sterling glitter 
of the Winter sky. The graveyard's 
 solitude is a wish that slips away.

The tombs have missel tints,
host the souls of dark storm clouds 
that block the deep heavens,

who knife the tumultuous 
oceans with searing streaks of light;
who hold the Moon until it is full.
