Sympathy, Not Just For the Devil

Sympathy, Not Just For the Devil

A Poem by Tkess

I lay in waiting beneath

The moon's colossal being

For a crumb of mercy, or

A morsel of forgiveness


The spirit torn, marked in blood

Give me a chance to see it through

But the planets arrive, all aligned

To hear my atonement


Cryptic thoughts spit beneath

The avalanche of unattainable amnesty

The words reverberate

Like ripples in still water


Trapped mind, feelings yearning

Against invisible walls

This frail reality stretched

To the point of breach


As she calls me with song, and

Beckons me with hidden gestures

The moon draws a noose

I hang on every word you say
