As blue moons rise
and red suns fall-
when sleep can't find me late into the night-
into the mornings hush...
I know it is because I am awake
and there's no time for sleep
in times like these-
cutting through lies
and history.
The evidence
blood
and poetic warfare-
running down the pages of old books.
A moment will come
when we are nothing left
but bone and ash-
no flesh to hold or hearts to thrash-
against rib cages...
against these bird cages...
...free from these pages.
