3 AM

...      
       
when night parts her legs      
it may be too much for a mortal to bear      
       
for night will confess the meaning of mystery      
and you will become that      
       
it doesn't matter where you were born,      
who you loved or who loved you back      
       
night will tell you things that will splay        
your mind and heal the earthly heart      
       
the hush of her cleansing breath on your      
flesh, will sigh you into  rebirth      
        
Mary will feel your forehead and        
teach you how to sustain yourself      
       
Poe will try to murder you, but he is        
old now and his powers are empty.      
       
Alice will envy you      
       
A radiant serenity overcomes everything      
you are and will be      
       
Dawn aches for your love, but she is doomed        
to forget that once you two begin making love      
       
you will vanish, only your sleepy-vanilla      
scent will be left on her golden hands
