The Plough Of Time
Night closed my windows and
The sky became a crystal house
The crystal windows glowed
The moon shown through them
through the whole house of crystal
A single star beamed down
it's crystal cable
and drew a plough through the earth
unearthing bodies clasped together
couples embracing around the earth
They clung together everywhere
emitting small cries that did not
reach the stars
The crystal earth turned and the bodies
with it
And the sky did not turn nor the stars
with it
The stars remained fixed each attached
to the immense plough furrowing
our lives.
