may
words flow from world again
from mother
stuttered bruised brood piercing
her heart unrelenting
light of prying eyes
no night

soulless anger bloodshot
fire screams
ashclouded
or
(silence)
or
the cooling palm leaves' cackle
on ravaged soil deserted
may be

pray

from dreamless early morning's wake
horizons rounding shadows
of the night
one word survives - the twilight's child
we pause and
speak it
world without end
