Where Did You See Her?

Have you ever ventured Beyond the dreams Where the sulking night Angry with her lovers, the moon and the stars Dabs her bare body with ashes And dances around a bonfire? Have you ever peeped behind eyelashes Into tired blue eyes Where a whole world of woe Swims in spaces unfathomed? Have you ever spent a day Under the greenwood trees Erect sentry-like on each side of the road Where the sun struggles To find its way? Have you ever asked A wayfarer, a stranger The directions to the house Of the one Whose waning footprints The winds kiss Wandering about from town to town?
