  • until the end of time

    i watched as the shallow boat
    carried two dead lovers
    into the mists and away
    to the place of apples at
    the hands of destiny's child
    wiping away tears,
    i bid them goodbye
    rest well
    rest well
    until the end of time

  • hush

    that she cries
    her stone tears
    this dark angel at
    thresholds waiting
    while the sun
    burns away her
    stonefield shadow
    hush now, tired one,
    stolen one,
    hush now and sleep

  • half-sick

    everything return and
    goes to loaming in under—
    call rook or declare crow

    truth is of water
    unstirred by eddy
    as by the reeds her
    shallow barge flows

    half-sick of shadows
    she whispers, lips dry
    as she rivers through

    i, too, grow
    half-sick of shadows
    aching for the moon

  • flow

    she flows scarlet and scarred
    through leaden falling snows
    grace over fell, wending 'round trees
    with black hair and crow—
    a drifter gazing in thrall

  • shadows

    nothing to lose
    nothing to prove
    slipping along that
    thin grey line
    surrendering to
    the lady of shadows--
    let her bring
    what she will bring
