Homage (2014-16)

My sky blue trade

And yellow was the multiplying sand

Of our two sleepings, which shall raise-up this red-eyed earth?

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower

The blue altered sky streamed again a wonder of summer

A last look at his thrashing hair and whale-blue eye

Sometimes the sky's too bright

Tells with silence the last light breaking

Watching yellow until the golden weather breaks

The blue altered sky streamed again a wonder of summer

And her red lips were kissed black

Time held me green and dying
