The Gypsy

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?
