Aurora, leave the crystal
Beneath the leaven bread.
Shine the last light on the
Tabernacle rising in the desert as the blood red sun
Lays darkening shadows
Upon the wall.
3000 birds rise with night,

I lift among them,
I am among the stars.
Aurora, I love your countenance spilling across the stars,
As we lapse into pink clouds
Rising in the East.

I lift the Chalice to the sky.
I follow the river rising,
Silken, it shines darkly
Among the ruins.
The river is the water and the way.
I run with it faster, faster,
I rise above it, among them.

Aurora, I see you in the granary, Rising with the barn swallow. The white sunlight
Lifting wheat and chaff,
Catching the sun between the slats.
Aurora, take me with you
To the place I cannot go,
The place behind the sun,
              The moon, The stars.
