the memory of evening is blind."

I draw away
I change to something folding the sea into soft prayer
And madness.
Earth mute
Sky a desert
Death, when shall I be ?"

she said
to the dream
that I may be reborn
without a road
save the shivering of the heart."

"leaning against the pulsing surge
of the rain
I make love
to that hunger
deep within."

I have willed to go forward and have not
advanced beyond
the borders of my grave."
