OCEAN’S MARCH (Excerpt III)
The mirror designing dawn
and garden broke
Day before yesterday we buried the first swallow
with the sorrowful flutes of flowers
Then the children sat alone
before the evening window
staring at the dying sun
Behind the white wall of the yard
the road was waking up
and as the golden light was melting at a distance
the great shadow of mountains was rising
with the silent footstep of death
up to our white hands
to our hearts
up to our bowing foreheads
Mother Who is chiming
the horizon’s azure bell?
