Unstill

In Lullaby I promise A kiss so silent It will fall with you Insignificant, yet unstill Down, down, into darkness Beyond streetlights’ white islands Its’ un-kept pyres an’ broken-down engines Into the dormant, deeply -feign of only memory Drawing water slowly, from clouds beneath the sewers An’ in its’ rain, so silent before me –dream, yet nothing to be A very long time to be travelling alone -along, the same dust an’ star Lay, darken palms upon me –prayers, taken ill beyond gods an’ of alter drew Rotten, forgotten an’ begotten -understood by so many, yet really loved by so few But a kiss, oh so insignificant –it can wound so deeply, an’ can sprawl up so blessedly From the vastly, empty –to be with, an’ without me! So, with a kiss I will leave thee As a rolling gravity –the insidious, in the intended dormant author’s accomplice To help untangle the meaning of dreams–wake: along its bitter, an’ its break Trumpets warming, from shadows once filled, deathly –cold, heaving To tear the black from its back, an’ in moment –find quite breath To rise with the angels, while wingless, and unbelieving Sit with any man an’ share with him his grieving Walk with them... all a bleeding an’ all a rage Not, try an' unlock nor break open the cage Holding, all judgement an' all emotion Trusting the path -they had chosen Then. In a lullaby. I promise A kiss that is so silent It will fall with you Insignificant Yet, unstill Silent
