The Knight At Twilight Wears Blue Armor

the knight at twilight wears blue armor
whose twilight you softly asked his
or the world's

I don't know just keep reading
the blue dusk scuttles as if
it were made of leaves

then we are all made of leaves
she sighed and then she sang
a tree: a tree in the twilight blue

is shedding stars or tears
I can't tell which she said,
I'm standing in too much dewfall

in the picture, turn the page

but the knight of blue twilight
cannot turn the page
he is storybook helpless

and is his lance blue?
and is he finished with his shadow on the lawn?
or does the night come down

on only you and me,
just reading the story...
not able to fathom yet

in any colour in Glory or

how it will all burn out
