The sky has been <br />murdered <br /> <br />its sunset lies bloody <br />dying on an horizon <br /> <br />a stiletto’d silhouetted steeple <br />finding the heart <br /> <br />between the ribs <br />of land & sea <br /> <br />staining my mind <br />making me a witness. <br /> <br />God like Mac the Knife <br />scurries off <br /> <br />keeping as usual(out of sight) . <br /> <br />Soon the deed done <br />night covers up the crime scene <br /> <br />& black...is black.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-is-black-for-bryan/
