Vespers

Wilderness, underscored dreams, calm, quietly spoken - the big stuff

Mourning lights in flickering cathedrals

Bones picked on by vultures

Music that haunts away at half the night

It is after the dawn of the big stuff

Refracted from clay

Moulded from dust


Watered down horizons

Flat plains for artificial light, spider's webs

Silkiness to sing to

Float on the waves of contentment

Swing

Quietly spoken - cling on to the big stuff
