....... as holy silence closes in

//

the hidden movement

The shadows spin

The alley cat emerges

Paw by paw

•

She let's her blouse fall open

He sighs and lets his life

Go wherever it must go

//

Amid the sacred dreams

Of joy and sorrow

//


The sharp knife

The secret

The little sister

The morning yet to come

//

we shall die here

Broken promises have been made

She knows

•

In the silence

Already

Lonely dawn

//

The alley cat stops for a moment

And goes on

//

She buttons her blouse

And follows him

To the dark shadows

She calls home
