Black heart
a hallow vexing


Long dark road
in the fall of longing


A clipped wing crow
a siren's calling


Black heart
a hallow vexing


Solitary bird that flies at night,
death of autumn leaves
now taking flight


Silver moon
the light comes piercing


Steel bright blue,
like a scalpel's wounding


The thought of you,
in the light of morning


Autumn hues
in the colors of dying


My heart a solitary bird
that flies at night

Break this darkened will
until it bleeds some light
