your sun is moving always towards the west -
huddling against the trees i wait to disappear -
every shadow has a shadow in the night
that leaves its body roaming while at rest -

day breaks forth and shadows homeward bound
return again to misery of flesh and sight -
the hedge is grey the edge is gaunt and sere -
the roaming bodies dance upon the ground -

look near the grey, look farther towards the black
where trees arc sparks against the night of fear -
they churn and tumble within the brilliant light -
electric fire calls the shadows back

to roam forever fled in troubled flight -
to foster absence and eternal lack -
