[for Emily Jane] 
this was written after having to struggle through Wuthering Heights in English Lit....

Then I moved on to the other writings of Miss Brontë.... strange reaction...

especially writing to someone long dead (1982)




The night has fallen around us 
And the wind it savagely blows; 
A wicked mood is cast upon me, 
One from which I cannot go. 


Against the night, orbs on lamp posts loom, 
Flickering forth a sickly yellow light; 
A storm from deep within advances, 
And still no hope for me to go. 


Heavy leaded clouds drape the sky, 
The paving just as dark below; 
Such sight it fails to move me, 
I cannot and I will not go.
