ON THE CLIFF
Stars dropped with arms of fire and cradled him
As he thought of her, stood cliff top, looking as
She had then, before her last amen
Subsided to the world’s dim grace, and her praise
Died, like these stars, come dawn.
How she had promised and how he had
Sworn upon his name; but crabbed
In the chase of his blood there was
A djinn, that would not allow him even
That darkness of peace called love,
Which instead sped out for sand,
The red warmth of distance, where there is
No kiss but that of black flies,
And no gaze except the empty skies.
