Ah ! Seven Sisters Wild
let your blueness flow in tides
for hot bread and blankets red cosy
loosen grids to free muddled minds rosy
so all may smell
nasturtiums tangling moist moss bells
Ah ! Seven Sisters Wild
slip here in solitary hours mild
to turn dial in cold of night
tuning to forgotten memories
of secret airy flights
where you taught mysteries
which I now remember as histories
Ah ! Seven Sisters Wild
are you chanting or baking chide
or decorating star garden walls
awaiting awakening calls
the dark silences of your eyes
embracing arums
we arise
I y e a r n for H O M E

It was beautiful beyond any measure
As the birthplace of unheard-of ideas
Mothers wept
Fathers slept
While the skin-toned canvas
Spread thin and then
thinner again
with age
Topographic changes across the brow
The eyes seized in torrents of time
The deliquesce of delicate hands
Unplanned corpulence
In the fading spadix of arums and palms
Light will take what time has left behind
