fall

all the world's for falling

so fall away, you ghost and demons

fall away--you dust and ash

fall away your fading glories

fall away you ringing stories

proclaiming the worlds glowing

burning fast

fall, fall--fall away, you all

like burning ash

and go to glow in the carpet

and fade, in the blue

the shadows, the breeze falling

through the window

to lay over the bed, the palms

rustle--let them rustle

falling over the fence

and their whisking fall

over the silence

and the sleeper--let the chains

fall and the limbs fall

across the blankets

let the world rest, quiet

in the rough softness

of the dirt--let this

room,

be the unfinished grave
