"summer and winter"
"summer and winter"
summer and winter
trees
near each other
lengths of time subside
shadows change
towards what sleep may be, dream
the stars
islands of the south
going round
and the sun returns always
the thought of motion, the stir
clearing the horizon
to lie down on the earth
red leaves scattered
as the green comes to light
trees
near each other
lengths of time subside
shadows change
towards what sleep may be, dream
the stars
islands of the south
going round
and the sun returns always
the thought of motion, the stir
clearing the horizon
to lie down on the earth
red leaves scattered
as the green comes to light
