Mystery

The fumbling picks up.
The sixth sense 
was failing.

A mother weeps 
for the unborn child.
You were still ogling the peaks.

Were you true to yourself 
in the dark, when the
moon was away ?

I had lost the burning 
coals, after the
rains came.

The dark mine, where
they were shot, for
picking up the lightning.
