Moves in the Field

Had to come in out of the people,

they blew me about so.

Was told of the life taking place

elsewhere. Went to check on that,

flying late and low over the west.

Saw no house, no shade.

Sat down on the damp bank

on the far shore at the left

edge of the world, against which

the sea endlessly lapped.

So now there were two of us,

who beat the world by

day and caressed it by night

and the world didn’t say

yea and she didn’t say nay.
