I Stop The Waves

I shut my eyes; I stop the waves I ruled over the moon and the earth Dark spaces in between the tree staves I turn my back on time, I called your name I count the stars till I go quietly insane The sunset is like flung afterbirth. I called your name then I'm drowning Then I'm a Thunderbird above a roving cloud Who comes to stir the tired wind? I put down talons in the wolf's blooded mane. And flutter like a paper butterfly Near to your beating bleeding heart. It's now I discover the hour of the dark The hail of the falling-flowers dew without you It's now I discover-the-pain of living without you It's now I descend opening my battened down eyes And still, pretend I'm still with you Under this new, full moon.
