They always create
climes to inoculate.
Must we smile upon days
when the love of blood sways?
Lights make this night
clear as an empty page.
Damp wind darkens
hair like heavenly ink.
Heads heavy, with bliss and ink,
on this path to certain light.
Our stellar home outshines heaven.
Though the poor bleed dark rivers far away,
We are merry in our own way.
By grace of the coming day
may our blood not spill but allay.
