Epitaph of Man
December 22, 2010
Stony faces glaring taciturnly into night’s angels
we call for the naked truth
when we crave phantasmal myth
crescent moon weeping concrete tears
the stars escaped long ago
ancient faces of children stare
unblinkingly into a blinding sun
On the burial ground of the dusk
resurrection of twilight
the river has bled dry
the settlers have killed it
Mask of rose colored glass collapses
now we see the darkness of a man’s heart
careful, here be monsters…
