At the end were only words.
The words survived our flesh.
The you said, let it be dark,
and it was dark,
and I said as long as there
are words we go on.
There is no separating out.
Speak in to the dark and it is good,
and we made a firm promise of
those words, there will be no division.
We took back the day and night.
Undid our concepts of heaven and hell.
Spun the day and the night back
into the clock.
Let us be dark, without image.
No longer trying to see what is good.
