Oublier la nuit

I love the friends I have

gathered together

On this thin raft

we have constructed pyramids

in honor of our escaping

This is the land where

The pharaoh died --

Children

The river contains specimens

The voices of singing women

call us on the far shore

& they are saying

"Forget the Night

live w/ us in Forests

of azure"

(meager food for souls forgot)

I tell you this;

no eternal reward will

forgive us now for

wasting the dawn

One morning you awoke

& the strange sun

& opening your door...
