confusion, death, people, sad,
A crstal god burnt out his light
Blazing at both end of the world,
A triumphant dullness painted
On the western cloud a circle of blood
And night posed in ambush
To wrap the widowed day in black
And we could not ward him off
To save orphans from bad dreams
And we could not even enlighten the sky
For a moon dance with fingers dripping
With blood of a star.
O the mystic **** is consumed in this fete,
Of glow worms parading themselves
As real stars.
Their amphibious bird,
Unfertilised for democracy,
Laid us this barren-egg dawn.

death, father,
Sitting alone
At the table
My thoughts of him
Are warm
A blanket of fresh bread
His struggles were deep
Canyons
River raging
Rapids
Crashing and lashing
There he lays
lapping the shore
Like a puppy
On the pebbles
Old and naive
I am next to him
In the natural line
Traverse the universe
And all things change
Gasp! There is an urgency
Sudden calm with a blip
He slips
Into the cool shallows
Eternal
Shimmer
Sundown, old man, farewell
