Valley Of Tears


Beyond the gaze there is a time zone 
of rumored agitation 
when you cannot sleep. 
You open your eyes quietly to complain. 
 
The caretaker has prepared the shroud. 
Smoke is rising on the hills. 
No body walks with you, 
it is a lone journey, where 
centuries throw the dust on your hallowed gifts. 
 
The pyramid of signs, symbols, signatures, 
disappear in penultimate flare. 
Time to leave the waiting room. 
 
The resurrection will take place now; 
of fear; of despair; of foot steps in dark. 
I will hear them, holding my breath. 
 
Landscape will change into valley of tears.
