Child of night
Salt stream to wound
O’ cancerous thought
The small hours bloom
Put all the knives
Away in the house
Scale the flesh
From the body it left
You came to me
As an apparition
A gloved hand outstretched
An angel no more
Take me away from the light
Separate the vessel from the mind
To the land where men go forgotten forever
And move in silent winds
I held the weight
Of death in your eyes
Withered, afraid
That someday the dawn will be
Returned to me
You came as a vision
A stitch in the filigree
An end to the ache
Take me away from the light
Separate the vessel from the mind
To the land where men go forgotten forever
And move in silent winds
