Fallow Fields

Drag my hands
Across the ruined harvest
the field turned fallow
Bodies lay
Motionless beneath
the broken bough

Beyond the walls
The signal fires long ago
Burned to cinder
A wheel within a wheel
A stranger in this land

Holy eyes
Cast their scornful gaze down on me
The black dog knows my name
Never lets me sleep
Always waits for me

Beyond the walls
The signal fires long ago
Died to embers
A wheel within a wheel
A stranger in this land

Hidden hand
Let me be your arrow
Bend me
Toward the dawn
Set to deadly purpose
Shake me
From this dreamless sleep
Open the vein of light
Resplendent in its violence
Exquisite in its cruelty
