They came, singing in the rain
The larks,
their snow-tipped icy shells
About to shatter into smithereens
In force ten winds
Blowing north to north-west,
Meeting me at the junction;
I stood,
a shadow against the gale,
Prepared to play host –
How strange that love & hate
Intersect at these junctions.
Masks down, baring all
For eternity to see;
The boiling rage of hate
The freezing point of love
Knotted here in degrees of restricted freedom
Unable to coalesce
Unable to cease.
The winds are strong, biting, frosty,
I stand huddled up,
As the larks circle up there
Their shells falling like meteors all around…
The sound of singing in my ears;
Far away, a pink pierces & streaks across the blackness
Just a little more…
