Birthmark

The blind lead the blind
Searching for clear signs
The angle of desire
The internal choir
The sweetest lie
The turning sky

We count the rings around the moon
The sun sets in the east
For forty days and forty nights
Your secrets are safe

The blind touch the blind
Groping for lost time
The precise curve
The vibrating nerve
The deepest sigh
The longest cry

The blind see the blind
Marking what they find
The perfect light
The endless night
The open eye
The will to die
