Hey all, I have been looking for this pic/poem on
all the sites for about two hours now.
Couldnt find it.
Eventually, I noticed that I still had it.
Anyway, I think its about time that it gets reposted.
If anyone knows who the author is please post a follow up.
Dusk
above the
water hang the
loud
flies
Here
O so
gray
then
what A pale signal will appear
when Soon before its shadow fades
where Here in this pool of opened eye
in us No upon us As at the very edges
of where we take shape in the dark air
This object bares its image awakening
ripples of recognition that will
brush darkness up into light
even after this bird this hour both drift byatop the perfect
sad instant now already passing out of sight
toward yet-untroubled reflection
this image bares its object darkening
into memorial shades scattered bits of
light No of water Or something across
water Breaking up no being regathered
soon Yet by then a swan will have
gone yes out of mind into what
vast
pale
hush
of a
place
past
sudden dark as
if a swan
sang
Speaking of swan songs, I saw the page/plant show the other day.
Anyone who is a fan of Zepplin must see this. Check them
out if they come by your town; they still have the magic...
