In the Dream Light Where We Meet


We sing with white voices in a wilderness
We dance beyond the thin line of what’s real
Something vast and lampless trembles over us
A galaxy of black butterflies to cover all  
The feeble tomorrows that begin yesterday
Here’s where everything begins yesterday
Where we discover the true name’s not to be
Read aloud nor ever to be felt on our lips
Our tongues in such light as no sun claims
In such great naked pain this mournful
Thunderous noise sunders the ancient forest
Lays the timber bare and flat now noiseless
Lightning shines on the last inflection of life
Where everything we fear is consummated
