Just as there are jaws of life
to peel the wreckage open
and set the captive free
there are jaws of death
to strap devoured
bodies to boards of steel
swim the thousand eyes through
flesh
declare sentence or reprieve
justice irrelevant
justice irreverent
jaws of light
shall
swing open
someday
some far far day
when we exit to enter
the light

Just as there are jaws of life

to peel the wreckage open

and set the captive free

there are jaws of death

to strap devoured

bodies to boards of steel

swim the thousand eyes through

flesh

declare sentence or reprieve

justice irrelevant

justice irreverent

jaws of light

shall

swing open

someday

some far far day

when we exit to enter

the light
