The Magical Bird In The Magical Woods |
I saw the slot of the sun |
The final cut of the sun |
Start like a hare |
Over the shoddy grey walls |
I saw you dimple and crease |
Turn a card from the pack by your bed |
As those swords, cups, discs, and wands |
Might tumble into your head |
And give you a glimmer of something profound |
But your gods lay no sound |
The gods made no sound |
Your gods made no sound |
You were cartwheel and somersault |
But not at your ease |
I was not at my ease |
As through unfolding vistas |
Of dullness and deadness |
I saw the metal buckets |
Fatigued and buckled |
With nimbus of rustflowers |
And sheds by the lake |
I was already falling |
And fallen and lost |
And it was not at your cost |
And I was not at my ease |
And it was not at your cost |
By aimless pools with no surprise |
I counted the flickerings of your eyes |
And I saw the magical bird |
In the magical woods |
Fly over the hills |
And far away |
From the sea, it’s you I see |
By the glowing seashore, it was you that I saw |
The magical bird in the magical woods |
