Description
1.west of the sunset
east of the dawn
a place that begets
spontaneous awe
2.
east of the dawn
where Crane bows her crest
spontaneous awe
golden eggs in her nest
3.
where Crane bows her crest
languid dreams are the law
golden eggs in her nest
and the stars are gewgaws
4.
languid dreams are the law
in night's velvet bower
and the stars are gewgaws
to moon and her lover
5.
in night's velvet bower
the angels asleep
to moon and her lover
the stars turn to weep
6.
the angels asleep
the lovers rise and dance
the stars turn to weep
resist, observe, advance
7.
the lovers rise and dance
still far west of serenity
resist, observe, advance
holding their waxen city
8.
still far west of serenity
heated bodies melt into mime
holding their waxen city
tightly, against the drips of time
9.
heated bodies melt into mime
as dawn draws near they shut their eyes
tightly, against the drips of time
silent and blind to keep their disguise
10.
as dawn draws near they shut their eyes
fencing in the darker sun
silent and blind to keep their disguise
everyone yet only One
11.
fencing in the darker sun
a place that begets
everyone yet only One
west of the sunset
