The Truth.

But how true it is
Bitterly
True
That you will not be Queen forever
You will fall
I may fall too
Perhaps you will renounce
Humbly
How true it is
That each of us may bask for a while
In dreams
Of milk
Silk
Colours rich
Embroidered day to day
Oh whisper of silence that drew us away
Take us home
This hum of quiet
Home
Even though I will lose you in a thread of time
Sewn through space
Your pull
Away
My only signal
Home

Richmond, 11:41

And so quiet
Hover to the night
As the train ambles closer
Near a cool humid light

Void aperitif.

A known path in times before
Now little sense of beyond
Yet desire for feeling the
Touch of a branch
Tickle
Of a blade


Stepping in
Or stepping out
Hold this hand of mine
If you walk through
I will go
too


But the air is thick
Black
Powdery
It circles us closer
Then breaks us
apart


And the truth
We have reached
The void

The Executive Set.

Not another Cohen-ism.
