In Darkness
In blue spring the soul falls silent.
Under dripping branches the evening
lovers bowed their foreheads and shivered.
O the corroding cross. In sunless communion
man and woman awoke to each other.
By the barren wall
the deserted one wanders with his shifting stars.
Over the moonstricken paths in the woods
the wilderness of forgotten hunts
sinks ever deeper. Your grief rises up
over the crumbling rock face in mutiny.
