"Sterile Mirror"
Saturn loomed, enthroned high in sky,
As I sat in room of white.
A bed bore leaden, failing form
But hope sat high on golden throne.
Wisdom’s crown flowed around his head,
That halo shining aged light,
It framed an image of his Lord,
I heard completion sing her tone.
That man that did not have a heart,
He bore the largest one I knew –
And that needle that pierced his arm
Now looked to me an ancient nail.
His bed was formed a different art,
A wood that once a savior slew.
His eyes reflected sea of dawn,
And for that shore he did now sail.
