The Meteor

Lxe
When chime and chill above the valley
Still green as dusk begins to shrink,
And sky depth, milky on the brink,
Blues in a dream not far away,

Abundant embrace of the ember
From passed-away bonfire wrecks
At stellar burial erects
A fire gate afront the entry,

Then to the shining candle anneal,
Along the streaming strand's appeal,
A moth unwilling runs ahead.

It's meeting straight the flame respire,
It's diving deep the wave of fire,
Alas, alas, it's lying dead.
