though i walk through valley after valley after valley
and find only shadows
though i walk and find only shadow
the sun falls behind the yew bushes
i young in different shapes stand next to them
the old chapel is to my right
the shadows then lengthen and there again the long shadows fall
when i saw the shadows and starres fall around me as a boy
i knew this world
all we see
be
and are
is imperium
Empire of Nothing |
