At this hour the walls are black, They breathe with apparitions as The sky splits open, I am alone as the sun dial walks Across the stone bodies, Where there were once streets and homes Now lay in waste filled with your Silhouette of silver memory, Vast as my Earth at the crossroads Of eight directions I walk through a gallery of echoes and the infamy Of the present, And the verbiage of the moment carries Your luminous spectre, A master of reflections, The dialogue of a lonely poet.... I am but a poem haunted by your ghost, petrified by the frame of your spectral silhouette.

The Petrification of Your Spectral Shadow
At this hour the walls are black, They breathe with apparitions as The sky splits open, I am alone as the sun dial walks Across the stone bodies, Where there were once streets and homes Now lay in waste filled with your Silhouette of silver memory, Vast as my Earth at the crossroads Of eight directions I walk through a gallery of echoes and the infamy Of the present, And the verbiage of the moment carries Your luminous spectre, A master of reflections, The dialogue of a lonely poet.... I am but a poem haunted by your ghost, petrified by the frame of your spectral silhouette.
