With a SOFT and SILENT WHISPER
You KNOCKED on
my front door

Without a second look
You FOUND ME
on the floor

Covered with
BLOOD and DUST
SHIVERING…
From the
night before

I now stand
in this DARKNESS
ready for a
FIGHT

Within the RING
of sadness
that lies
BEYOND
the night

and when I HEAR
you cawing
like a TRUMPET
in my DREAM

I will REALIZE
what I’ve always
KNOWN

this MIND
this WORLD
this HOME

is NEVER
WHAT IT SEEMS
