Blustery cold, like the heart
After a dismal divorce
From someone who knows
Every sorrow, each fear…

WHERE IS HE THAT WILL FEED ME

An invisible thief,
Beyond the dark horizons,

Rest in the sanctuary
The sanctuary of stillness within cold
Frames of stained glass windows
Shining a dim light
Illuminating an altar of sacrifice
Dead trees glisten with tear drops

	Dirt under his nails

Dismantled ricassos line his back
His tear filled eyes he shuts 
The sky above him black

Dammed Up Tears

This heart's ache
Deep past limit
Drowned in the river
That killed it
Sorrow years
