Sometime lovers-- I am widow of this world, a captured Grace that haunts the edge Of Silence, my passion pacing Like a ghost that breathes beneath My red-star skin; sometimes I whisper, Sometimes I scream, but I revel In the moment, always. Every heartbeat is battered well Against my soul--a sound that pounds Like hell against the Dark; one night Beyond your careful calculations, Shadow over shadow over shadow; I cannot tell which shade of Night Is mine, or yours, or no one's-- We are but sometime lovers, Paying homage to the night. |
