Love or a trick of light.

Somewhere
East of the the
pale moons of twilight
Cometh the iceman
Sing ‘in memory in vespers’;
In sacrarium; in sacrarium
(Has~d herself, himself given whole life all pleasures~
For sale at large~
The great or last~sacre, the right to insurrect,
Resign oneself to parting with;
~accuracy to vividness);
Memory the great betrayer
Betrayer
Between the naked and the dead.

A handful of ashes
Burns white into day
Burns
Grey into night.
Love or a trick of light.
