904c

shortest day

(poem with two endings)

stars so dim

the cloud sees through them

the darkest hour is right before

all ash and bone

who stopped in bed?

and who won't show?

the darkest hour is right before

stars so dim

cloud sees through

peer mist

let blinds stay shut

drip in the still

like the tip of a nose

pour out in a little smoke

so kettle on and fire to tend

struggle out and back

make clouds of yourself as you go

if about

so dim you won't be known

dark hours are starred through cloud before

better to keep cosy though

stay well ravelled

make steam

be in a chocolate simmer

gather ye carbs

and wallow me blubber

nibble for the rat you are

in the after rain

leaves drip

first ending

and here are the birds of

joy this dry age

to me an hour spilt

second ending

all daylight was

and night sponged up

ache is in

the weather come

stars so dim

the cloud sees through

heaven's fire is away with the devil

no intentions could pave a way out

the cave and the struggle doomed

nothing can shine our own lost star

sneaks through the fairytale woods

for a spell

we bury in it

later they'll exhume

the grim of musing

tuneless

someone once made a religion of this

and someone had to sing to keep warm

there isn't any spring to come

that was a vicious lie

grows darker

until day's quite gone

bombs fall

we'll all be dust
