Nocturne

Whirring wind press my temples,
Scoop us into cold thin air,
A stone rough tomb-top
Sinks from our fingers,
And artery branches lurch
Down.

Rush dark vapour, murmur
A helix about us,
We are hair
And grey web spinning,
Each lifts other,
As the bright earth falls
There are only your phosphor eyes.
