Valley

I was lost 

 Beneath the steel night.

   The moon with pervert eyes.

Maidens came who I knew

   With serpents around limbs and feet.

I asked the silver light to cleave 

      My head in two.

Unbosom the kinship of the night

                  And I 

With all my tender angels 

            To leave me

into the 

Inextinguishable night
