Time has up and risen slowly Finite, lorn and left hand low Vantage point absurd and holy See saw sun and all below Sickly sap sun soap sud clouds Gather hopelessly around The darkly darkened hill a yonder Traps the air with weightless sound And what if any is the answer For this sin to go unspent Sow the seeds which spring and dance there In the growing ground repent Give me children or indeed Nothing will I give to thee Table gathered ghost will breathless Grasp and fail and flow and flee Mostly I long to see the corners Of your lips fall and rise Sauntering rising and in time Though benign and resigned Inverting and breaking like the break of tides And laughter cures the winter Rolling bones and eyes of grey Laughters end and pass away
