~they are gone to that place~
  ~bravely going where we all must go~
  ~no time for a gathering of ends~
  ~those of us standing the line~
  ~can only imagine what our world will be without them~
  ~that wherever they have gone~
  ~is a better place~
  ~because they are there~


~I Would~

~if I could be a pillow~
  ~a safe place~
  ~to lay me down your grief~
  ~I would~

~if I could be a basket~
  ~I would gather all your sorrow~
  ~cast it out into the seven directions~
  ~I would~
    
~if I could be a fountain~
  ~I would flow with you~
  ~through the seven waters of your spirit
  ~I would always be your friend~
  ~I would ~

~is a dream the night when sleep won’t come~
~the day after the day after~nightmare existence~
~shadow candle flame~drifted off with a pen in my vein~
~awoke needles in my eyes~blood is a hard master~

~Flame~

~pushing words away~
~lest they eat my sleep~
 ~become the only part of me~
~devour those golden hours~
~which amount to the rest of me~
~yes away with dreams and all that seems~
~possessed to make an end of me~

~anesthesia is an art~
~to which I might at once lay claim~
~a shallow grave divided~
~I might just lie between~
~some token awareness~
~consciousness~
~which came first~
~the egg or the bean~
~blackout describes the best-held dreams~

~I lit a candle to threaten the stars~
~but nobody’s laughing in this wayward place~
~would someone put out the light~
~stop this ringing in my ears~
~I am not afraid of the night~
~but see what is done in the light of day~
 ~no don’t take my candle away~
