Bereavement Odyssey

Ардаллион
Harbingers of frozen love arrive
White strip over my dead boy’s head
I ask his crystal eyes to watch
A seerful path to stars let go ahead

We cannot move we cannot see
The wingless trend to fly and hover
And flowers everywhere hide
Ambigious secrets of the lover

Your skin turns yellow and grows tight
The stars breathe hard in darkened space
And symbols of misdeeds and miseries
Laid like strange alphabet on your face

Tracks of the embodied come from moon
With light and still in  snaky sound
Pushing you through the dried out grass
And lay you down on moonlit ground

The shackling white came to swallow soul
The astroblemes came into my way
Now left it down I rise in a cold
Space to join the foy of fairy day

Maybe bring her down to envolve you
Maybe send wish to make you angel
Maybe dig you down or explode your flesh
Let you meet once again like strangers

The grateful words the sorrowed words
With hate as the regrets lost sense
Tectonic mure lets fake and wait
For deconstructing life defence

Dry brench cracked and fell down
Among the leafless low trees where you lay
And soon the wind quire signed the sunrise
Bruised shadow on your eyes said you would wait

Sun left orison and the grass smelled new day
And merry habitants spray laughters bright
Play games but I bring you down underneath
We’ve dealt to wait a day till night
