A golden light comes through the window pane it lights up the room with a glowing sense of heat my eyes lead the way to my vision of the sparrow singing its last poem to the dancing street puppet a gloom a written song with no sense lifting the velvet rose off the face of the lizards tongue its plucking the sweet blade of grass from the voice lost inside the cell walls for eternity the last step into the deep hole of hell he steps aside and into the womb of the basket woven in between the column of brain he snaps the leather whip as you stretched it between your teeth it rattles your jaw bone cradle from underneath your feet it crawls up the spine leaving you breathless a poets voice is reviled.
