Once, my oak roots searched this underworld

and pulsing with light could feed from this night

a tree proud with branches, leaves and colour.

But what falls from light earth turns to clay

buried timber turns sour and flakes away.

iv—Forgetfulness

In the beginning

is

Nothing.

I am the oldest voice of all,

the voice of absence,

sister of silence.

Let nothing bless

the human head

that climbed so high

to praise itself.

It thinks

it is the face

that life

would wish

to take.

Nothing could settle

in a nest of bone

only images,

the pilgrims

that hold

a moment

out of the blue.
