The light fell from the window and the day was done	A
Another day of thinking and distractions	B
Love wrapped in its wings passed by and coal black Hate	C
Paused on the edge of the cliff and dropped a stone	D
From which the night grew like a savage plant	E
With daggers for its leaves and scarlet hearts	F
For flowers then the bed	G
Rose clocklike from the ground and spread its sheets	H
Across the shifting sands	I
	-
Autumnal breath of mornings far from here	J
A star veiled in grey mist	K
A living man	L
	-
The snapping of a dry twig was his only announcement The two men who had tied their boat to a branch that grew out over the water's edge and were now moving up through the rank tropical vegetation turned sharply	M

Behind their heads that were as large as globes	P
He heard their voices indistinct as rain	Q
As faint as feathers falling	R
And he fell	S
	-
The boat sailed on	T

	-
She laughed to see them gazing after her	Y
She clapped her hands and vanished in thin air	Z
To reappear upon the other bank	A2
Among the restless traffic of the quays	X
Her silhouette against the dusty sky	B2
Her shadow falling on the hungry stones	X
Where sat the pilot dressed in mud stained rags	X
	-
He knocked the fragile statue down	C2
And ate her sugar head	G
And then the witnesses all gathered round	D2
And pointed at the chasm at his feet	E2
	-
Clouds of blue smoke sometimes mixed with black were being emitted from the exhaust pipe The smoke was of sufficient density to be an annoyance to the driver following the vehicle or to pedestrians	X
	-
The whispering of unseen flames	X
A sharp taste in the mouth	F2
