Shallow Grave
the darkness and confusion lifts
I do not bring the rain, which you embrace
but the sun briefly, into a cold sky
as I feel my way through the fog
into the realms of your reality
I lay fantasy aside
covering it with Irish lace
and burying it in a shallow grave
as your heart's freedom sprouts wings
and flies away into the night
