A Wake for the Minotaur

A glorious light
A ladder along the clouds
A spy in the sun
A shout in the street below
Climb down the white road
Into the dark mud
Paper (?) and dusk
A river below the lake
I ride in the flood
A dog with the chain removed
Till the morning rides
Till my memory lies clear
As a tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
And I know where you are
I ride in the blood
I ride on the warming rails (?)
Through canyons of sunlight
And waters across the road
Could I have loved you enough
If I fell in the right way
The world turns and turns
A tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
I’ll breathe in the silence
I’ll laugh till I die
