Kyrielle

Carving a carcass from the flesh of time
I ate the rotten bread and drank the wine
And thought of what the bones imply
I sang but God did not reply

I found a silver cord to stitch the day
But bloody palms were aching to betray
As sadness shrunk the needle's eye
I sang but God did not reply

Scentless flowers rose to bite the shade
As serpents tore the blossoms into blades
All in the garden heard their sigh
I sang but God did not reply

Out in the dust I read the faith of flies
Sprawling across the sun with sacred lies
And went to warn the passers-by
I sang but God did not reply

I wandered far across a field of hate
Plagued by the Word that forms to desecrate
Whilst greying clouds eroded sky
I sang but God did not reply

And there amidst the ruin and the waste
I found the truth that leaves such bitter taste
Perhaps those deepest dreams should die
I sang but God did not reply
