A confessional paints her face She'd not wakened before sobbing Hateful scratching in her voice Her choking prayer muffled by shame It wasn't to be a day about the garden Oceanic creature falling above our roof Bending noises out of her crucifixes frames Tasking her with direction The winters first hard breaking upon us now

Cursed Nights Reprieve
A confessional paints her face She'd not wakened before sobbing Hateful scratching in her voice Her choking prayer muffled by shame It wasn't to be a day about the garden Oceanic creature falling above our roof Bending noises out of her crucifixes frames Tasking her with direction The winters first hard breaking upon us now
