Always

Always the deep, endless longing

of the open skies--



Always the frightening uncertainty

of the moonless landscape--



Always the unsettling possibility

that the brand new day may bring

the ultimate dissolution



of our slumbrous settled lives

& plunge us back into the terrible



restless tide--the original chaos.
