|
To black framed witness |
|
From black framed guilt |
|
A misery of springtime |
|
And a weekend of absolute |
|
I remember |
|
The wilds around me |
|
Whispered "brutality" |
|
The strangest apology of |
|
All |
|
|
|
The dragon-faced accolade |
|
Of vigour and hope |
|
With shame and delight |
|
I accept it! |
|
This omen-filled season |
|
Not sudden or rushed |
|
No fear of volunteer |
|
I reject it! |
|
|
|
I remember |
|
The wilds around me |
|
Whispered "brutality" |
|
The strangest apology of |
|
All |
|
|
|
Evening then |
|
And evening now |
|
The smell of seasoned |
|
Summer brings |
|
Memories of illusions passed |
|
And autumn of funerals |
|
Enough to last |
