BLACK SONG

Once more in that hour of darkness
In dark black waters they arise
Dark songs pass before their eyes
They lie awake gazing into darkness

The woman’s dark black hair
The man’s hands dark black
Like whys without an answer back
The room, four sides, four black walls

A line with two ends in darkness
In the darkness they were deceived
Dark verses in darkness they conceived
And like two blacks were silent

In the most affirming places of their love
Suddenly they grew tired, out of breath
Little by little they felt the death
Of some places left in darkness
