Day and its Transgression
A sentinel above the earth
A presence of forbearance
The kingdoms burn beneath his gaze
Backlit clouds blur their vanishing
Rays of light from dying suns
Hang themselves with ropes of night
Beaten, furtive, catatonic
Orphaned by the starless dark
Daughters waking in the fields
Raise green eyes to heaven
They offer lambs to Mithras
As all the sons have died in June
Garlands wither in the winds
Painted auburn with dust and leaf
Hands bound behind their backs
The Day sets them ablaze
I have observed a sentience
Along the path of manhood
Penance has been done for them
Who fear the harvests cast in gold
Spires reach to stab the blue
Like lances cast into the skies
Falling snows will bar us in
Frozen on this holy altar.

Cherie, your comments are always genuine and informed, and they always show insight to the workings of my mind when I write.
