Sun in the knifed horizon bleeds the sky,

Spilling a peacock stain upon the sands, Now, while the dark basins the void of space,
Across some murdered rocks refused to die. Some sudden crickets ambushing me near,
It is your absence touches my sad hands Discover vowels of your whispered face
Blinded like flags in the wreck of air. And subtly cry, I touched your absence here
Remembering the speeches of your hair.
And catacombs of cloud enshroud the cool
And calm involvement of the darkened plains,
The stunted mourners here: and here, a full
And universal tenderness which drains
The sucked and golden breath of sky comes bare.
