eternal twilight.

i.

darkness.

i was born on thin ice

the twilight,
was swallowed
by
dawn


my heart awoke
and yawned its first breath


my ear still pressed
against the cold surface,

i could hear the water of winter
neath me
swishing
like the blood through
the veins of a helpless prey
tight in the jaws of his successor

my heart wriggled
out of the grip
of Despair

and slithered
inconspicuously
towards shore

careful as not to break
the ice
which supported
my existence

careful as not to break
the existence
which supports
all that we falter in


ii.

tonite,
the sea will choke on the sun
as it lodges deeply

into the airway
of the horizon

leaving the world
in
eternal twilight.
