‘In Darkness Let Me Dwell’ – (After Dowland)

 

As if

a breath freezes

into veins of ice

 

A sketch outlined

on the silence

of darkness

 

 

From darkness

an opening          eye

                       I

                               aye

 

 

Listening in:

a language

of limbs

.

 

Out of darkness, (slight return)

a singing ringing tree

Time of the Vanishing ( )

dscn5109-001

That time of day in December when the last flicker of light gives way to shadow and smothering darkness

The sea a dark mirror, pulling down the sky

 

Time of the Vanishing (          )

.

Time of retreat
