I'M Calling You By Name

In a while,
in a second
and rain is pouring down.
One expectation like an Alpine horn
and you hardly,
hardly
are alive.
With your little hollows you're listening
to the Labyrinth.
And I have no knowledge.
And I have no map.
But the long movement of moss on the skin
of obelisks.
The calm waters are unleashing into me
and the chestnuts are putting white candles on
(and the autumn is a palm).
Wings, raising
upwards and
upwards...

I'm calling you by name.

Absolutely beautiful. Great imagery there. Favorite line... "and you hardly, hardly, are alive" Keep up the thought. Keep it flowing.
