A dark congregation
Of familiar faces
Gathered around the quiet earth
A red
You came to me
In seemless sleep and slipped right
Take what you need while there's time
The city will be
The lions roar
And young men soar
The flames all
Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest
It's gold
Like the light was all I had
I struck the book
Rain falls
Quickly wetting my hair and clothes
My cries fall upon
In a field outside of town we could always be
My heart has lost its wind now
Broken like a dead
Who shot that arrow in your throat?
Who missed the crimson
Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging
