The Gypsy - Sarah Slean

her skirts unfolding

her graceful profile

the sound of mourning

in her sigh

no words of wisdom,

no hallelujahs

only silence

in her eyes

she says come with me

I will show thee

no mercy

no mercy

breathe again

so take your hunger

down to the gypsy

she will teach you

how to die

but can you dance with

the Queen of Shadows

and be transparent

to the light?
