Akin to Darkness

the rafted waters lie barren this day
when children sigh in the halls of God
and long for hours of impious play
to places unseen and paths untrod
down from the sanctuary of fidgeting feet
and languid dreams of the carefree 'morrows
lies the place where silence keeps
a careful watch over gathering shadows
in a congregation exempt of light
such racous whispers turn the leaves
and if the pious were to hear this plight
the calls to heaven would shake the trees
yet near the edge of the blackened maw,
we spy a tiny child clothed in scarlet
his impish grin and curled paws
clutch a tome swathed in darkness
with saucer eyes and a trembling hand
he turns the final page
and so the end of the world began
by the banks of the Rio Grande.
