And larks rise up like angels, Like angels larks ascend From sunlit grass as bright as gems Into the cradling wind. Song of ravens: The plain light in the east Contrives out of the dark The machinery of day The diminished song of the lark. But the ravens ride the night And the darkness west, The wing beat of their hearts Large in a buried nest. Song of owls: Through night the season ride into the dark, The years surrender in the changing lights, The breath turns vacant on the dusk or dawn Between the abstract days and nights. For there is always corpselight in the fields And corposants above the slaughterhouse, And at deep noon the shadowy vallenwoods Are bright at the topmost boughs. Last Modified: Sunday May 31, 2020 |
