SLUMBER FLAKE

the day sank down in dark cakes starry-eyed the night is born without a rudder now pushed off the land the soul hovers above the bottomless blissful as redeemed spirits sway in the barge of the night the dream thoughts and an albatross in the ship at guest spreads white wings over the shore do i see clouds carrying the wind? are they mountains rising from dreamland? ferns flash through torn en belts his wonder port’s coral prongs all the sails the winds are streaming softly, softly, fall slumbering flakes

I extinguish the light I put out the light With a crimson hand, Strip away the world Like a robe of many colours And plunge into darkness Naked and alone: The deep realm Will be mine, me. Great wonders flit Through thickets, Springing veins In the deepest sense, O leap some more, I’d come to the core In the heart of the world All near, all far.
