By Dawn's Early Light
By Dawns Early Light
By starlight
the skull flies off
spinning, crashing
by the tree bough
a rainbow of blood
like a peacock fan
lashes the sky
By moonlight
doves coo
side by side
warmed in down
in sleepy bliss
By headlight
a tiny body
makes an arc of grey
smashed by steel
broken bones
splinter in silence
By limelight
players create peace
men's hearts
softened by wit
and dreamy jest
long for what's right
By flarelight
broken bodies
lie mangled
legs butchered
and ragged
coils of colon
slick and gleaming
By candlelight
lovers stroke
warm skin alive
kissing warm dampness
moist in their passion
electric with feeling
soaring and blissful
By streetlight
a young man
scared almost witless
surrounded by hatred
is carved by a devil
tortured in cruelty
and knifed to numb coldness
By firelight
two friends
watch evening falling
dreaming of old times
awaiting the dawning
By gaslight
the ovens
are crawling with dying
herded to slaughter
wrenched
from their loved ones
heaped like some debris
and buried like cattle
By dawnlight
the sun shines
on all that is human
the saint and the sinner
the thug and the saviour
by each ugly scarface
and each selfless martyr
a world that is waiting
each day
to be born
