Song of Bells These 3 a. m. sorrows streak like dark-hearted songbirds, shackled to the steel of my body's blue sinew, ligaments of the heart's great naked timbres, atremor in its quiet music, the tinkle of syllables, overturned tea cups spill a kaleidoscope of bellbirds, gone wild in the sun, Summer comes wringing in its rainstorms, for the nightenglae's thirst, and what love soever in the dark there is, I wake to a phantom refuge, and begin to pace an eternity of corridors, among saddened topaz, this silence, strung with a garland of white bellflowers and tethers of a patchwork dress in cinders and ash, are like the sound of mourning, pouring rain upon the empty panes, torrid my eyes climb, like a pair of hands drowning in the day shallows, unable to catch sparrows in midflight without breaking their wings in red splinters, I enter a guilty plea, trembling and pale as a doe trapped in the body, the day quivers like the amble of belled feet, pitching headlong into oblivion. _______________________________________ ~from The Caliban Ballads |

Nicely composed. A belled horse at dawn, pulling slowly its still-sleepy rags dealer and cart... and the bells are in tune. |
