4 in the morning and a single
\nnight bird breathes an aria
\nsomewhere beyond the curtain
\nAntique ashtrays wrought amongst
\na thousand voices of auction fill
\nwith the ashes of chain smoked
\ncigarettes I make more coffee
\nI wash my hands I stare at a
\nvision of St Michael This is the
\nmorning this is the swimming
\nblood of mercy this is my
\ninvisible work in the world.<\/p>\n
