why
does thy heart
breathe
with lies
still
Stu Harley Aug 2021
underneath
the
soprano blue sky
one last chirp
with
the
highest pitch
before
we die

death
knows how to wait
her turn
in a dark alley
like a black widow spider
when
her prey touches
the vibrating strings
upon her crafty spiderweb
a quick bite and a swift sting
to get the job done
when
she starts to sing
in acapella
death knows how to wait

oh lord
when
grace
cradled me
in
her arms
while
African slaves
bounded for the new world
discovered by
Christopher Columbus
and
one by one
Black men
shackled, chained
and branded
then
devoured
into
the
infested belly of
the
slave ship
named Jesus

when
we look
into
the eyes of
the
ghost white moon
let
her
look back
at you
for a while
with
her
owl-shaped eyes
and
her whiskey smiles
when
we
look at the moon

on my life's journey
to thee
that
peace be still
let
faith
be
the anchor of
thy ship
thy will be done
on earth
as it is
in heaven
through
the
dark wine sea

every monster
dwells
inside of
a
black box
if
we
turn it
inside out
and
upside down
what
Frankenstein monster
creeps out  
from
the
dark dungeons of your mind
