Dusk Calls Me

It’s an ill wind, that
blows
from an ill mind, and
I may bend
but don’t ever expect me
to break

as yesterday
gets down and dirty
in my honor
spitting venom
from its black tongue
while it stumbles
on each syllable
drunk
and cloaked
in its own filth

there could only be
one ending
though it smiles me
to know
that there are times
when I am pure fire
burning
to go down
with the sun

where dusk calls me
to dance...
awakening my language
so my voice
will fall
dark, like rain
to the soft of night

while they
who conjur
seek
a sleeping sky
and dare to dream

it was
in the beginning
that I saw
the end
but
I stayed anyway
for the lesson
