Break The Black Ice

Time for sleep

Time for prayers

Time for dusk

Dust in eyes

Grinning jaws

Grit in teeth

All things pass

Death and deeds

Break the black ice

In this earth

In this town

In this land

In this hour

In this time

For this age

In this flesh

In this joining

Break the black ice

In this spasm

In this jerk

In this crib

A little death

For this boy

Little screams

A little blood

A tattooed rune

Break the black ice

In this kiss (not mine not yours)

In this curse (not mine not yours)
