Deus Absconditus

Old sky, how high you lay 
up there, in your complacency
your faceless dome
your eyeless spread
your earless tomb.
how high you lay 
and how bitterly 
we see you there
lying in your terse complacency.
how bitterly we cry your name
and your language only guess.
your faceless dome
your eyeless spread 
your earless tomb.
Old sky, how high you lay
come down from your complacency 
come down Old sky, come down. 
how bitterly we weep
Old sky, come down.
how bitterly we cry your name,
and language only guess
Old sky, come down.
