I Am the Unsaved

I am the unsaved
The unwashed
The unsexed
The unknown
The less-than
The never-man
The 13th bead on a broken rosary
Dancing on the floor threshing room floor

I press my prayers into the run-out groove
If you play them backward

One life
One prayer
In the arrow of time
Tracking straight
In a circular orbit
Decaying
Moment by moment.

I watch him frown. I cry hello.

He gives his

I am sinking facing you, you are still- eyes wide shut.
I am paralyzed in fear, disappearing today together,
Hopefully tomorrow we could both be reappearing. 

I cannot save anyone, and I know that you were told,
Someday I would save you. Dead

Unsaved

At midnight, awakened,
The ravens stir.
You thought it was a dream.
Ill-omened prophets,
Of the night, are they.
Flying through the realm
of your ominous mind.
Foraging, ungainly,
For the desire in your heart,
No longer to be found.
As you’ve already
Given in to the darkness.
Your breath begins to fade,
Death’s door unlocks and opens.
Now above you,
The ravens caw in vain.
Because of your doubt,
You lacked
