The Traits in the Sky

from To Whom it Serves the Triumphant Destiny by SALQIU

/

lyrics

The fire that dances
the bird that sings
the wind that dies
the icy waves
And the surges of rumour
in the ear of distant cries
of the day that passes
all the weary flames
the voice of the voyager
all the powder in the sky
the heel on the earth
the eye fixed on the road
Where steps are inscribed
which the number unrolls
to the name that have left
in the folds of the clouds
the unknown face
the one which you watch
and which has not come

Anchises navel draping of the sea
the hands Erasmus dipped in gleaming tides
gathered the voltage of blown blood and vine
delve upward for the new and scattered wine
Oh brother thief of time that we recall
distinctly praise the years whose volatile
blamed bleeding hands extend and thresh the height
of imagination spans beyond despair
outspacing bargain vocable and prayer

And daffadillies fill their cups with tears
to stew the laureate heurse where Lycid lies
for so to interpose a little ease
let our frail thoughts dally with false surmise
