Shadows Of All Shades

shadows Shadows of all shades and colors sub-dividing matter: energy ramifying and rarifying the skeleton of old I heard them laugh a big laugh then they ceased silence. Ossuary Of long deep quaffs Of bones from graves And tombs and Charnel houses. the indifferent moon is used to these laughs. Ah! we humans will propense be to laugh as skeletons: human will you not like and relish crumbling into a handful of red-white dust? There be nobility too and sacredness in such a dust. For sacred the human be and more he grows more with every shadows shadows of all shades and colors sub-dividing matter: energy ramifying and rarifying the skeletons of old I heard them laugh a big laugh then they ceased silence. Calmed be the waves Those same waves That rose at dusk And made havoc Of twilight beauties The bats ceased to shriek And went back To their hanging upwards Downwards Calmed be the waves A current of strength Fanned by Neptune blew As to a ramming road A little below The breasts of the seas And liquid waters. But now But now There be the return to night As of the other night As yesterday As the day before As before Before. On land and sea Floated the scent Of ossuaries and of Sacred bones.
