Rest

Lay your weary head down to rest
Don't be so hard on your haunted heart
Soothe your unsettled soul

Release the tension from anxious bones 
Quiet the anxious torment from your conscience

So once again in the morning you resurrect and rise anew

Thus this was the cu...

At night while she sleeps, he comes like a robber then takes her hap...

Head In Hands

Head In Hands

 

when I bring my hands

to my face

the heels fit precisely

into the sockets of my eyes…

 

my thumbs circle my temples

but do not soothe or ease the pain…

 

each of my fingers press

against the bony ridge of forehead…

 

kneading, coaxing,

pleading for relief…

 

the insides of each hand

pinch against the aqualine

contours of my nose...
