they shut up the prophet, then and now, they wound the one who brings the word ...



See here



deep

she is a stone sleeper
kissing the night's air
the light shines in her eyes
towards the fixed point
from the variable axis ...

he is a bronze statue
touching the edges of day
the light comes through his smile
above, below, around
the moving figure of her ...

deepest deep

another shade of darkness
another layer hovers shivers and covers
the waters of the deep
a veil of darkest dark shimmers
this night foul
as a fistful of whispered lies rise

"all are hunters now"

another shade of lightness

another layer hovers shivers and covers
the waters of the deep
a veil is lifted 
o lightest of light your rays
penetrate even the deepest of nights
opened handed, full of rising song

"the battle hard-fought is won - 
come now, worship the Son"

the spell of evening cast


the spell of evening cast
love worn 
trembles like a so-thin
curtain in the open window
breeze
voices fade 
with the dying light
as silence creeps in
and settles into 
the so-long night

leaf



falls through fragile air
light shining upon tree tops
autumn glow on faces turned 

to go
