new moons and sunrises

12/27/2003 9:39 PM

give me sunrises
give me clouds of blue scarves and waves
give me heartless hinterland
give me my dreams and nothing more

push back the curtains
let the rain pour in
clear eyes brush back the teary skies
the restless, stirring wind

give me cloudless
give me afternoons of golden rye
give me mindless cancer
give me my thoughts and take no more

i'm killing you
though i dont understand why
i'm casting stones
i'm calling your cauldron grey
not black, not white

in twilight i can't even see your eyes
your hairs meld into a blanket
to hide your face
from this saddest disgrace
i'm blacker than new moons inside
