Curves of light breaking
on my body,
lifting me into the realm
of the remembered dead.

A sidewalk paved straight
through a celestial sky,
birds of sound without bodies
scattered from the throat of God.

To where the blade is speech,
and me in acid rain
the lonely remainder, bereft
of all companions in the glow
that our kind make of night.
