At Last, The Task


The sun in rising,
Decants a destiny down, 
Splashing redly, 
Replete with meaning. A
Full-bodied fate fills
My ill-chosen flask; some last
Splashes and then, o'erfilled,
Leaves my cuff hanging limp,
Leaking, staining 
Crimson the wrist
And the flask-filled hand. 
So, anointed into the 
Weird now appointed me,
A flash of the past pierces,
A gash not mine 
Appears and a sight
Opaque to eyes reminds. 
Time folds His fingers 
'Tween mine in that 
Special way so 
That, overlaid, we share
The impaling nail
And the vision is,
Once emptied, whisked
Away but, again, I 
Must stay.
