"BlindLight" - Antony Gormley
< a requiem for you and me >
found out today
that you've been freed to love me
in the fine caress of dreams
the silence of your words
that follow me from room to room
i'm stopped
caught up
i'm still and frozen
in a messy soup of you
like any worshiper
i wished to hold your sway
like any lover though
i had no right
my fantasies
so busy eating at your table
sex
that movie in my head
i kept it quiet
i kept my own despair
you were the news
i wasn't
and they never got enough
your suffering
your tragic fantasies
i see you stepping from the stage
described in brilliant light
still lost in song
still questioning
and there you were
so early in this stiff, tight morning
there you were
your drugs
laid out across the table
and i watched
watched as you took them up
your sacrament
your poison
your relief
i wait
i wait and kiss this moment
kiss this moment as i cry and think of you
i helped to chose those drugs for you
just as you choose your words for me
you
stepping from the stage
in brilliant light
a brightly colored fungus that grows in bark inclusions
