Monastery or the Vow of Silence

The moonless monastery sits
cloaked in sedentary darkness
cowering in eclipsed shadows

waiting for shiest
buzzard calls, seeking
food,  a scrap to suffice the fire
hunger.

An investigatory hitchhiker
silent and cold,  signs formal
papers without his knowing

comes upon this buried dimension
to discover his golden morality
or his dreadful baptistery

In the never ending night
we come to the monastery  for
answers in the magic crystal
or God beneath the sheets

some leave unscathed
some leave leashed
and some leave not at all.
