of the rag dolls that were our children

No longer fought for, nor yet forgot,

From the fading day
Heading for your hole

Elene: Part I - Cynewulf

Swift in the tale of time had fleeted

Winters for the world completed,

In this mid-earth a man was born
To shed o’er faithful hearts a heavenly morn.

Dust we are return to it we must

In which, all through the long blest night, a face
I never saw smiles at me with a grace
No words can paint, till at the first shy gleam

A statue that the human form displayed,

And from those two the human race arose.

old names are fading away, the past lies crumpled in my clenched fist -
a coppery bird in coppery wind,
this vast place has covered me from head to toe.

I haven’t yet been allotted to death
the horizon still keeps its distance
across the triple verge – the middle,
the edges – the ripe light
strokes down, the open pulse
