when day is gone
night spreads its black wings i lose myself here my sadness and anger can create other worlds portals spreading like veins a road map to anywhere but here shadow man tips his hat to me at each doorway the horror of longing fills the space in between i am in and out of a trance black pupils pulsating universal wisdoms someones dead grandma is knitting spiders in the corner i remember the root of my pain my daughter isn't here i open another vein this portal takes me back in time here she is still a baby wearing a drool bib smiling at my dark star eyes she recognizes my future self my past self sits in another room busying herself with mundane tasks that keep her sorrow from cutting to deep i hold my baby dance with her in my black robes on beige carpet she giggles stares in to my eyes i don't blink so she can see the secrets of the universe i know she will forget we all do i leave her with spirits to watch over her colored orbs that glow in the night i leave her with my past self move on another vein another place the ghosts are my chariot i urge them on take me farther show me everything just keep moving
