The children chanted with low voice

for you are now a flower bed.

Horizons met for thousand years

in ripples on meridians.

Your tale is told in every house

your chest is laden, roses.

Your curls in suns and suns in curls,

your enemies stand defeated.

The underworld’s expecting you

the ferryman’s delightful

the fields of words that care not

give you compensation.

We are always part of the weave

the loom is moving us through eternity

it’s witness to the love we lose

witness to the one we receive

Its telegraphic motion in the cosmos

unlike anything you’ve seen,

it resonates with timeless rhymes

astronomy wrote this prelude.

The loom is weaving you again

returning you to flesh and winter shiver

deliverance for those on earth.
