Too Late
Too late.
It's too late,
said the small man,
said he,
looking up from
the way down below.
I've been and gone,
touched her windows,
though open wide they be,
Deep beyond
their weathered panes
All light erased
woven so tightly be that black,
her fabric of the dark.
Hollow echoes loudly
through her hallowed walls,
No doorway in
Nor outway out.
though, perhaps, not always...
a once
a longing time ago,
in those brighter lighter
days of before
and before.
But on this day of today,
all rings quiet.
all too too quiet all too calm.
For it is too late too late,
said the small man.
Her morning sun of now
be now
her mourning sun.
