It was dark like dusk And the old oak wept Wept white sap like milk Onto the ground Up into my gown She was there, yet invisible Her possessions on the table Dense with anger Someone thinks of my youth I wonder who it may be A departed child so very angry Lunges at my neck My lovely sister calls out To call her We ease the others pains She prays over us all Of the light, of the white We all go forth No answers tonight
