The Plough Of Time

Night closed my windows and The sky became a crystal house The crystal windows glowed The moon shown through them through the whole house of crystal A single star beamed down its crystal cable and drew a plough through the earth unearthing bodies clasped together couples embracing around the earth They clung together everywhere emitting small cries that did not reach the stars The crystal earth turned and the bodies with it And the sky did not turn nor the stars with it The stars remained fixed each with its crystal cable beamed to earth each attached to the immense plough furrowing our lives
