A PAGE OF THE NIGHT BOOK
.
I stepped ashore one May night
in the cool moonshine
where grass and flowers grey
but the scent green.
.
I glided up the slope
in the color-blind night
while white stones
signalled to the moon.
.
A period of time
a few minutes long
fifty-eight years wide
.
And behind me
beyond the lead-shimmering waters
was the other shore
and those who ruled.
.
People with a future
instead of a face.
