I have kissed the summer dawn
Before the palaces
Nothing moved
The water lay dead

Battalions of shadows
Still kept the forest road
I walked, walking warm
And vital breath
While stones watched
And wings rose soundlessly

a clear pale light
a flower who told me it's name

I came upon the goddess
Then one by one
I lifted her veils
Across the meadow
Where I betrayed her to the cock

I hunted her
And I hunted her!

And smelled the scent
Of her immense body

Dawn and the child fell together
At the bottom of the wood
When I awoke, it was noon

Life was it really this?
Life!
