‘I felt so washed-out - like an indecipherable rune! '
Now shall I numb you with my needle
Or mumble something simple
And tickle with my tune?
...
In the shadow
Between dark and light;
In the suffocating
Arclit compound;
...
How do I know what I am, what I am?
How do I know when I say what I am?
How do I know when I say, when I say?
...
‘Goodnight', they said, and left
and I was left alone,
I felt,
Me, in the mothstarred rushing heavens,
...
Who would lay the lion down,
And find in those jaws a resting-place?
Who would he who walks in white
Past the tree and past the town,
...
Was life just a metaphor,
Or, will a flaming meteor
Fall to earth tomorrow
Carrying foreign spore?
...
Sure we are like the dreamers in the cave.
Not recalling our total stature,
Our dreams recall our odd dreams of perfection!
We toss, we turn, restlessly we burn
...
Who are you and
Who are you and
Who are you and
Where are you going?
...
