Old old black branches, against the
softening sky
pointing perhaps – but no,
only that there was one single way to go.
On on deeper darker, with the river
and the wind
In longing and in terror, it must be so
it must be so.
Down doom falling failing. In every dare
in every care.
You know it’s there. God! Don’t you care ?
Why ? Don’t you dare ?
Unreal thunder in empty night
A silent circle of column trees
A hollow scream to empty ears
Alone across the darkest seas
Awake awake, day is dawning, the dream
is fading now light is here
Kisses fluttering trembling wonder.
It seemed so far it seemed so far.
