Misfortune In a Fortune
one day
some day the sun will die
some day the sun will die and the duaghters of angels will cry
they will sigh
they will lie in open pastures beneath the moon
they will lie in open pastures beneath the moonlit sky
then
then they will come
they will come from beyond the veil to tear and eat before the coming gale
soon
soon they will rise
they will rise from the ocean skies and seize upon the daughters with wide open eyes and they will come to despise the lies they were told to shush their worrying whys as all of them dies underneath the opening skies and no one will be left in reprise, no one left, no one will be left to pour down tearful cries.
