(working title Mordor)

 Nothing but the grey effaces

That walk with me and

The bestial faces

Of the animals that shout at me

A prison of fools

an untutored school



I want to escape through that tiny hole

And let the movie run out on the ground



I tried to get the ashes off of my feet

Tried to save that wild dog

There were broken teeth of glass on the street

I saw yellow flowers of flame through the fog

I felt the weight of the world in my hand

Ten plus one in the chamber

The weight of mountains while I stand

My shadow belongs to a stranger


I’m thinking of you and your ocean eyes

A daughter of the wind and wild spaces

Beloved grower of flowers and secrete surprises

The works of a love that time never erases
