Nameless, Night
Spark, sail into flame. Never again.
Melt into miracle, common stuff of roads.
Light, transcending is sorrow.
Cold, seize my heart. Love, consume.
Once, dream, talk in waves of sound.
Stars of the harpsichord, fade me away.
Body, become darkness. All I was?
Could have been nothing in a vision sought.
Museums, fail to admit. Unwelcomeness, be.
Riddles, thy meaning hide. Eyes, see nothing but blue
Winter wind, watch for me like a widow.
Paupers, thy potter's field. Wait, O time.
Breaker point, anoint with pain.
Dealers of doom, hold each of my hands.
Fields of asphodel, black ash trees, receive.
Subterranean, send message of lost hope.
Hell, be kind to a sinner. Heaven, burn me up.
Ladder and rope, fail, and let me fall.
Name, mean a blank slate and respond no more.
Legend, be my prophecy. Goodbyes are death.
Breath of dark matter, blow a kiss.
