And then suddenly
Night overflows into day
Yellow cataracts
Of solar flames burn the sky
In cold time like tumbling stars
Years run wild in rage
Dawn breaks over shoreless seas
Alabaster cliffs
Scream under frayed expanses
Of plumbless lunar landscapes
When whispering winds
Come through windowless mansions
Vermilion towers
Stumble like staggering trees
On evenings of hurricanes
Damp darkness beckons
And triumphant tombs summon
Byzantine pilgrims
From many faraway realms
To their eternal embrace.
