for I was a young, young girl
tossing my brush straight hair in the air
on a cold, breezy early morning in the spring
and the one after the latter
of which I knew to be the last
I saw the crescent from the below
painted paler than the stigma
of my sorrow in the early blue
and I breathed the air within
of all that is
left for me
I watched the moon up above
the crumbling waters below me
I close my eyes, I fly
over the meadow of dust
and the sea of the unlived
parted by the quick death of a kiss,
forgotten
I was a young, young girl
running through the meadows
and all the mountains without flowers
with my brush straight hair in the air
the sea, the sand
sunset on the long northern waves
washing away the reminiscence of a dream
did I know
now the skies are covered
with clouds ever gray
and the silhouette of a cold, breezy moon
out of sight
