ONE NIGHT

Promises
a windowsill
made to break
the darkness

Silence
in steadiness
where I am
where can I go

Too long
for memory
blindness tonight
the chance to love

Open me
to open you
and spread apart
to darkness

Careful
crying out
trying out
these new things

No more now
return
to turn away
I guarantee

the last
forsaken blood
cold body
just lying there

under streetlight
unbounded
but not believed
exposure

burn
and fade away
closed curtains
no more
