this night is beyond repair

this night is beyond repair
not by footsteps,
nor by prayer.
the torn weeping of a cherub
is heard by time above itself.

we gnawed holes into the age,
rats with tin spines,
strangers in an orphaned shack —
not a crumb left for tomorrow.

and you, tin spider,
will you twist, will you live?
where is the blood, the wound in the heart?
where — the tender quiver?
