Something
The Southern Cross possessed the sky
that night winds with cold dominion
should coast the chapel roof and cry,
betray the heartland to oblivion.
Relaying scents on mountain breeze
with relics of the grateful dead,
semaphore on repentant knees,

With no reply about the grail,
duos of crows pecked the eyes
and beak-plunged in the entrail,
communing when something freshly dies.
The friend and lover contemplates
a future tarred and tarnish feathered,
locks digits with the hands of fate
in grinding seas and tempest weathered.
Togetherness, in love division,
reaching for a different sun,

she knows I am the one…
