I’m in love with Venus
She rises above my bed
And hangs in the air like a dead wind
The universe is rotten
Heavenly bodies collide as if by magic
An eclipse of the sun is on my forehead
And stardust turns to ash as darkness falls.
“The lives of three wattles, the life of a hound
The lives of three hounds, the life of a steed
The lives of three steeds, the life of a man
The lives of three men, the life of an eagle
The lives of three eagles, the life of a yew
The life of a yew, the length of an age
Seven ages from Creation to Doom”
(English 9th century)
“Billet spied
Bolt sped
Across field
Crows fled
Aloft wounded
One left dead”
(Celtic origin)
Black is my steeplejack
Upon the hill, I see my steeplejack
White is my dazzling sister
She is fun upon the hill
