Evening casts forth its first edition of swallows
announcing new politics of the time,
the scarcity of light’s wheat,
ships that emerge to float in the sky’s shipyard,
a warehouse of shadows from the west,
mutinies and disorders of the wind,
birds changing addresses,
the hour of the opening of brilliant stars.
The sudden death of things
drowning in the tide of night,
weak cries for help from stars
trapped in their prison of infinity and distance,
the incessant march of dream armies
against an insurrection of ghosts,
and, at the point of light’s bayonets,
a new order imposed on the world by dawn.
