In the End There is Silence (revised 2024)


(The black darkness was mine once … 

none obeyed the command to bend and kneel~~~ a few saw us there…)

I fall on the weeds and stones.

In my blood-stained clothes I breathe in the night air.

Some half-living crawl away…

but I am my one light, alone—so

painless I lie…

there by the cold beam of the moon 

   softly cry… …!
