Devotion
Devotion
Remains a phantom prisoner of
The night
Shivering with life unseen in daylight
Big silver stars
The moon
Masters of disguise
In sterile white uniforms
The methods and mechanisms of control
Disappearing from the streets of Man
In lunar orbit
Lost in space
Love
Should be pockets of daydreams
Simple
Raw smiles that are nothing more than smiles
Comortable silences
Gentle truths
Peeling brittle onion membrane
Eye to eye in naked, gruesome honesty
Everything is here and whole and lovely
Love should be
Symbiotic
Devotion should not be granted
To the night's parasites
