Moon and Sun
26.05.2021
Thank you God for the rain
The merciful cotton-wool of the soft clouds
Protecting us from the bloody eclipse
Here we are, under clouds and rain
Snug and innocent
As children going to bed
So different here
From the brass cauldron of the desert
The stark-naked moon
The staring stars
And nothing to shield you from heaven

Eastern sun
The Orient
The perfect, round, golden light
It's not in the East it's needed
Not to the fly-infested eyes
But under this,
This greenish pall
Of the slow, sad
Transparent dusk
