sun brushes

one wing sweeps the earth

angel of the crooked wings

burns in the secret darkness

summer’s green all girded up in sheaves

the violet past prime

embracing clouds in vain

cruising the star-punched sea

For years it feasts on fire

you of the whirling wings,

hissing counsels of ruin

Green says go

Leaving a hand in the air to break my fall

bronzed in the light bouncing

under the bridge where you waited

just send it swimming back below

Yesterday the breeze caught the water

Flying into an endless sunset the next day

A choir of empty cups sitting loudly

There is no running from the forest of men.

And a house on fire
