'The night clung to him -
each breath inhaled the
inexhaustible darkness.
Sequestered thoughts
unfurled in black as he
waited
for the wall to scream.
I’M INNOCENT he heard,
and traced it with the edge
of a fingernail.
A dream, he thought.
A dream, he knew
was not.
In a sense, he understood.
Stainless were children
grasping giant hands
following mothers through
fields.
Stainless were mountains
smothered in snow
and doves
and lilies
and no –
he was not especially pure
or good.
Now home’s as dirty as the
depths of the sea -
Each plead entangled in the
eternal song of polyphonic
innocence.
He burns now. These
people are raging flames -
They came from the edge
of the wood.
It all depends on beginnings
and ends:
This is who you'll remember.
- who am i when did i -
- i'm misunderstood i... -
The fire became an ember.'
