& you will deny me three times .

By Corinthian

+








you are
so unkind



+
you laid me
in the dust of death +
cover your
head and weep
Like
the mother of Christ

on
old lips

tears
and lights
tears and sighs.

sick
saints
and soot
sprites






blue
blue
blue








I no
longer see
the colour
of blue








only salt

lilies

rust and
gold



you are
insignificant
and prosaic

banal
& low


when
birds
sing in the
night hours
something is wrong .






unblue
unblue
unblue







+



sustained
soothed
breathing and bleeding














my
baby
Lord

there
is
only you
only you













I can barely breathe

    ...yes, birds singing at night: sounds beautiful, but would be very out of place...

    And so did Peter, the rock on which his church was built, before the cock crowed at the morning tide. Cheers Cori, fine write, forest green is also a good color.

    The harsh reality of life can be a lonely place, close your eyes and travel to dreams..... A beautiful pen as always.... Be well Corinthian.
