Shadows and Wavering Flames
Shadows and Wavering Flames
All these vague things
shadows and wavering candle flames
burning the sky out of night
leaving white stars dimly twinkling behind
Faintly I can see
all these vague things
unclear melodies tinkling
like swirling bells ringing in the rain
Watching the night turn dawn gray
another night gone
and the shadows of flames fade….
Seay/March/82
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
