Pink snake in murky water
Feminine
Bite
scrapes face
The voices of my children in a video
In early August
I fear my memory is failing
But I am so young
Bruises riddle my knees
Who hurt me?
I walk through fog
Dayless daydream

dayless, how i feel,
Form: I do not know?
Her burdened soul, weeps dry tears.
Longing for the heart of her child.
A soldier.
Dark treacherous night.
Hidden plights.
Sad, saddened life.
Lost again.
Weeping men... Lost sins.
Forge on, forgiven sights.
And heights.
Quiet stories, unfound glories.
Oh, the heart of her child.
A soldier.
Dayless sleep, nightless dreams.
Only a man.
Desires arms of peace.
Peace... oh peace, how tragic does it weep.
Hopeful smiles come and pass.
Again to ravage a life.
Changed.
An invisible cage - holds faith.
Hope, … anger, … rage, … caged, … at bay.
Visible faces, and unseen places.
Oh, the truth of her child.
A soldier.
Her burdened soul, weeps dry tears.
Longing for the heart of her child... a soldier.

There is something about night
Something I just can,t shake
Something heavier than light
Something very much at stake
From night's deep dye they made
The ebony of my dayless skin
Wheresoever I go I carry a shade
Of the ancient curse of other's sin
And that much night I can bear
It is walking at night that I fear
When someone's standing ground there
Because I do not belong anywhere
The law was made against the night
And it went wheresoever I went
It embodies a deep, deeper spite
Than hatred can conjure or vent.
