Let me select,
From a list, uninterrupted,
A sheet of moonlit rain,
Add hail
And welcome you to the darker days.
The leatherly leaves
Have left, unrecovered,
Their posts up high
And blackbirds
Compete with starlings and crows.
Untie my eyes
So that we see, unchallenged
The song of going under,
And stay
Still amongst trees open
To the great wheel of stars
Pinning the heavens and havens,
And all those blundering souls
One to another.
