Everything

 Everything’s looted, betrayed and traded,
black death’s wing’s overhead.

Everything’s eaten by hunger, unsated,
so why does a light shine ahead?

By day, a mysterious wood, near the town,
breathes out cherry, a cherry perfume.

By night, on July’s sky, deep, and transparent,
new constellations are thrown.


And something miraculous will come
close to the darkness and ruin,
something no-one, no-one, has known,
though we’ve longed for it since we were children.
