what is that flickering in the pale mirror?
not tears
not sighs
but tomorrow's vanished scraps
or could it be just a leaden body
what is that howling in the black sunset?
not the night wind
not a crow
but a creaking hinge of rusted hope
---
you are even more beautiful than god
what on earth could you want?
do you want me?
my body was burning up
it all seemed like a dream
what did you see?
was it me?
---
what awaits in the pale march of time
not a grave
not the light
not a life
but a mirage of a blank face, or could it be...
but a mirage of a forgotten place, or could it be...
you're in a state of grace
