Images that strive
to print themselves:
exiled oracles in caverns;
ghosts of hope
from underworlds: worn out
rituals of expiation;
false recognitions,
ill-conceived desires
sparking a grieving history:
the last dusk dance of midges
is over the sun's descending
echo of the day.
.................
Dialogue of silences
flowing between the years,
between the meditating
moves of mind,
dance for me.
Forgotten notes are sweeter
to the remembering measure,
through the utmost reaches
of oh, so self, my love.
..................
Notes of moonlight lullaby.
I stalk the deep night
trail of city streets.
Walking abject paving,
lost designs of dream
etched on winter silence.
...............................
In the affairs of grace,
a pure motive, a stray
lamp-lit winter bough.
