as soon as the twilight screeches, frayed
sooty velvet slides from side to side,

an ancient curtain falls
silently shut,

light disappears into
the depths on a thread of silver,

where there was nothing
more to see

 
then, barely audible,
glowing secrets and deep black matters creep into the endless room,

rustling behind
curtains, compressed and hidden,

in this depth a dripping
shadow strings together hundreds of stories into a furious burning circle,

over and over, each
night

stories brewing at an
imminent end, pink and innocent

a vacuum, dull, consumes
from within,

now swells silently,
a hurricane of fire on a
scorched plain, perfect silence

 
a low-slung front floats
away, a dream about the end

 
once, when the night has passed, the curtain
moves like a slow pendulum back to the left,

a blinding dawn vomits over a pale ravage
bodies with arms protecting the face
an innocent view rolls in, hopeful from afar,
like a wave of glass
