and a poem offered
as sacrifice to the Gods
and we’re still inching

after the midnight
and grandfather clock
managing to strike 12 times
in synchronized beat

and hempen evening
dissolves into starlit night
just a trifle warm
and subtle nuance
penetrates the poetry

One is all, all one
Etcetera and so on
Approaching the dawn
