First Night

Listen to the singing
Ringing courage, bleeding
Arrows--eyes and lips. The
Angles of an angel painting
Red, red, red resounding

See, see, see this heart exploding.
Your coping is salvation to us all
In the glourious awful this,
The mess of lamentation.

Fall and raise me, repaint,
Repent and change me. Oh contrition
Change me in a hazy bar with arrows.
Sweet daunting daughter
Of melody. Young bloody
Painter with hollowed eyes.
You are hallowed.
