Standing At the Edge of Her World
Strange this life the world it's place in time; ground zero ?
Rushing by these years confetti as kindling their, colour crayon
Ages smoke-glassed mirrors book marked tiers; bittersweet her stages
Gray skies children laughing ghost, weeping while turning pages..
Torn frayed edges echoing of innocence a wisp and wind, searching
His Winter's hollow ? Skeletons, flesh as bone clinging to perished dust
Dreams memorialized an endless era aneath marble; mounds of mocking
Stones a pagan's altar their offerings ? Granite gods, howling amid ancient's
Tombs still bleeding, from their own wounds; scripted these tears thus paved....
Running from shadows melting candles an olive branch ? Strange, this love's night.
