. A small nowhere Nothing town lost in Western mountains Gray wooden walls Slate gray roofs A one lane road Wending round And through Beneath Orion’s stars The night air cooling Our lives are changing A lone bird’s call Who are they now Moving among the houses Gathered together As if to a music Where there is no sound Ancient peasants princes Once beautiful maidens And here as well Regardless of incongruity Those friends I had And women I loved Long since forgotten In years ago Mingled among those I never encountered All trailing white sleeves Under a summer moon . |
