Passages

Lie too many and many a time

Lie too many and many a time

Cross the river, the river of bones

Saw the flagship of summer on the water

And my eyes fell to the edges and dregs of peace

Pack my hearts, dazzled minds

Looked at the fires, looked at the fronts

Centrifugal spokes of mine

Round the shape, my heading

Some live in water

Many and many a time

Lie too many and many a time

Cross the river, the river of bones

Saw reflections of summer in the skies

And my eyes, and my eyes, says my summer

Burn shivering tracks of leaves
