Swallow the Heart
the night is endless grey
& stretches out
all lines & lights
waiting to swallow
the heart
of everything
you might have known
it lies half dormant
beneath the pavement
under layers of damp earth
& sings it's hymns
to the worms
when we've joined them
in that darkness
they will whisper to us
it's secrets
& we will know
that dawn & waking
were all along
illusion
