Mary Waits In Silence

I shall return no more
 The sea covers me
 To pick gold from the skies
 I shall wait between the spaces
 I shall return no more
 Imperium et nihil
 The silence has folded
 Inside and out
 And Mary waits in silence
 Imperium nihil est
 In the gap between
 His thought and his word
 And something is finished
 And something is born
 In the place where words cease
 In the moment when
 Actions no longer matter
 Oh the sky may darken
 The curtain tear
 She shall wait
 Silver dust falls from her hair
 Waits a span or a time
 Sketches of her life swirl
 Around her silence silent
 The sounds of her silence
 The forms that they take
 They cover me still
 My fingers twist in pain
 Words are finished
 And I come swiftly
 And with a vengeance
 And Mary waits in silence
