Reading these lines, foreboding
disquiet in my spirit
within me
mystery in each word, each
line
wondering what you meant
red in the morning sky
warming, a storm coming;
Was it Peter as the cock
crowed
that led your pen to write
was this scene in your
mind’s eye
of Peter, the Rock, Christ’s
disciple
facing his mortality, his betrayal
the meaning of the line
“after the night of time”
was it that foreboding,
infusing these lines with
dread
