mandate the eyes and flesh to witness the dying of the candle fire

dark before dawn from the first conscious breath life bursts forth
04:13am threading cold currents in this sea of bedsheets
throwing shade into the indefinite darkness of this night
wait out this winter night beckoned to bed by the likes of rakshasa horns
the ingenuity of this winter night blinding sights and ravished by touch
your grim scented softness suffocates the senses
pitch black a hand slips through the veil to find comfort
winter at dawn the old crow’s guttural growl
the subterfuge of glances ready to peel the layers from winter’s skin
