There Is Another Kingdom Where The Brambled Roses Breathe

there is another kingdom where the brambled roses breathe
where fragrance from colour cannot be parted.
winding the clock of quiet come the snows
hallowing.

there is another kingdom where the home you left

on fire, distressed, packing no clothes at the onrush of
the midnight wing, packing the
floods instead is set down in a vale

beset with lilacs, light and far far

removed from the killing shore. you know.
you know
where the soul from the soul
cannot be parted more.
