Secrets in the Dark
Tell
me what you dreamt,
while
you were unable to speak in the dark.
I
carry the insomnia of martyrs.
I
hear sounds heralded,
lost
in chaos.
I
heed them against
the
quiet march of dead sons
in
the hallway.
What
were your impressions carved
within
the sound sleep
of
your high road?
I’ve
asked you to tell me as best you can,
asked
you to unveil,
what
must be remembered.
What
did you dream in the dark,
that
puts you at ease
upon
your foggy shelf?
Perhaps
that’s a question
for
another conversation.
