Elegy

 

Say he caught the moment

when apples flew up

to gleam in the sky

and stars fell down

to blaze on the bough

 

when estuarine floods

curled back to the hill

when black never

turned to ever

 

say it was impossible

but he did it

say when all feeling had gone

he loved

 

say silence

in his song.
