May You Be Held

What is to come And what will be left? After fires Are swallowed by the floods Will you Offer balm to the wounded? Shelter To those cast from their homes? Gather together All those who remain Shepherd hordes Through fields of dust and bones In this place Bereft of light Diamond waters To blackened tar have turned And now Through cracking lips are they cursed As they slake The thirst of none Hands that once Cradled and caressed Peel flesh from the bodies of children Bathed in rubble Now A prayer to you As this has yet to pass: "May the sun shine Through your hair May the light dance In your eyes" "May your limbs move Through gleaming waves Your body rest upon the earth To embrace, part, return May you be held In shadow And in light" "In laughter And in silence May you walk gently On this path Borne by courage And by kindness"

A black chair In an empty iron room Air cold and brittle No one left Bodies hauled away Vomit and ash Spilled across the floor Soon too Will the light drain From empty sockets

No love within Take love from him He who cannot speak He who has no tongue So small So tired Crawling in circles Safe in shadow Covered, fed and sick Behind song That hangs like smoke Sweet and choking A black radiant hum That drives him on And on and on and on Pursued Hot breath on neck Watched by Bloody eyes Unblinking Pursued Watched Held close Consumed Consumed That sacred thing Made of salt And blood And skin Skin Ripped from tender Darkness Left to dry Dry in The midday Sun Sun Dancing On the Burning winds His howling Husk dreams Of rain Of rain Now up from the pit To walk the soaking soil His eyes lift to behold the stars Each breath a hymn To a world reborn

Body, tongue, touch and need In suffocating arms were these learned And from the withered teat was suckled Poison nectar Born of curse to walk the earth Demanding service from the fallen The evil seed in perfumed bloom Chokes the host its bearer To rut with shades That welcome weakling conqueror king In their embrace The soul seeps from rotted loins No hope for healing Seen by eyes grown dim Still he throws himself on clustered thorns The lonely throne of he who seeks The paltry arms of pleasure In their beds he is compelled To lose the blood of sin contained

Behind closed doors Lanterns sway in pulsing dark Though the body's near Rigid man with soiled hands Cannot touch, cannot feel Between walls in narrow cell Glaring light extinguished Cover, tender scalp exposed Rigid man falls to summons, red Drained and weak Flaccid body, bent in muddied gutter No truth unwrung from its marrow cold Begs for mercy, for cleansing holy death Only broken may it pass Into golden dawn Forgiven

What has, will and can be seen Feeds at root in crimson pools Through all These binding waters flow By channels interwoven Without a fear of severance When horizon sun beheads Would leave endless days of drought And dust to keen Through our hollow husks In pillars made of flesh and bone In repose and undisturbed Would rot our hearts unwrung Though clouds are licked by flame From the fiery tongues of man unhinged Ruin that's sought may buried be By all bodies in love entwined Risk our hands in others' held To be seen Stripped and raw Under threat of rending blows The task of souls imbued with light Risk our hands in others' held

Turn aside Steady eyes belie the fear Small hollow words, clatter to the ground Broken Ruin has come, not fire Or in ashen rain Only in turgid silence Hanging, flayed Submerged in presence summoned It expands with breath, filling rooms Welling up from the tar choked springs Reeking black star, shining weary light Bloodied eyes, no tears Bloodied eyes, no light Know not to what this moment's owed Only slipping in shuddering dance Towards cold, radiant dissolve
