Time limits itself
The eastern light breaks darkness
Time to breathe shortens
Crowns of crystal
Hang casually
On the tree stand
In the corner of the room
Behind pale blue stares
To nowhere
And icy rivers that flow
As I drown in your blood
Your parasite
Waiting
With sweating palms
Seeking your forgiveness
A blessing that never comes
The favor promised
Looping brilliant
Lights
These golden lights
Rest upon the window sill
Set aside
To relieve the itch
Unencumbered
Searching in vain
For the reward
Of this penance
A reward that never comes
Not a moment in time
Not a fleeting emotion
Not a goal
Nor a means to an end
An idea
Born by the fight
Within and without
Surrounded by these lives
Having
Holding
Hardship
Heart ache
And a relief from this pain
A relief that never comes
