To Ignore the Sun
1.
Rain forgotten with dawn
as shadows welcome the bright flood.
Fallen on their graves
eyes and breath of dead
in daytime must freeze
against faces of men:
lonely now lost,
needy now blind,
causeless their hope.
Fall soon please again, night of great beauty.
And let this heart break its visageal tomb.
2.
Come child! with light for now gone
-- which means --
for us now no reason to hide.
Raise me to dance, forgotten boy
raise me with moony warmth
till bright oldness compelled by sun
drops our shadows from sea back to earth.
