sild

on a cobweb
afternoon
in a room full of
emptiness
by a freeway
i confess
i was lost in the
pages
of a book
full of death
reading how we'll
die alone
and if we're good
we'll lay to rest
anywhere we
want to go

on my deathbed
i will pray
to the gods and the
angels
like a pagan
to anyone
who will take me to
heaven
to a place
i recall
i was there so
long ago
the sky was bruised
the wine was bled
and there you
led me on

and on i read
until the day was gone
and i sat
in regret
of all the things i've done
for all that i've blessed
and all that i've wronged
in dreams
until my death
i will wander on
