There are so many groups
Holding different keys to awareness, 
Enlightenment,
Reality, understanding 
And truth,
Perhaps, jailor-like, I should collect them,
Yet I have my own set of lock picks....

Arresting the future
 as well as the past
Time the great jailor  
its prison precast   

A graveyard of victims
in temporal loss
Destiny preying
—perdition the cost

Made all the money a good thief can make.

I pray that someone calls
But all I see in my final days
Are these claustrophobic walls...

sun sunk unto the womb 
of the sea
stars cried at the tomb
tears of warm blood
through glittering eyes
moon meowed, dogs sang melodies
unheard
rivers rattled prayers breathed
unborn kids, mirror is a
jailor
secrets in the seed tears on the cheeks
mirror mutinied
naked dusks wingless birds limping
silence of the divine music flows
colourful coffins saints marching
blood from the nipple
breast milk
tasteless...
