Eclipse

Eclipse
 there will always be children
 behind one comes another
 on the stairs, the younger brother
 in his grandmother's shawl.
 tonight we will break glasses
 be barefoot in grasses
 uninvited we walk in
 take our pleasures and leave all.
 how our dreams entrap us.
 how our dreams entrap us.
 the puzzle never solved
 behind the scrim of our resolve.
 there will always be stream-beds
 filled with square stones and doll-heads
 and the bodies of insects
 and the bodies of lovers
 tonight we will lose friendships
 turn spies in and sink ships
 uninvited we lie down
 in the dark of the eclipse
 how our dreams entrap us.
 how our dreams entrap us.
 how our dreams entrap us.
 how our dreams entrap us.
 how our dreams entrap us.
 how our dreams entrap us.
 the puzzle never solved
 behind the scrim of our resolve.
