Unshriven
Out of focus eyes
Tremble on the brink
Of final flight.
The lights below
Beckon like wreckers
On a savage shore.
Soul's dark night,
Gapes open mouthed,
Swallowing me down.
Sliding into a chasm
Of sheer sided ebony,
And no climbing back.
A golden gate opens
Swaying in the wind
Of God's final wrath.
And I carry no coin,
For the Ferryman;
My soul will suffice.
Unshriven I fly
To eternal rest
Amongst the damned.
