AS ONE.
comes The First Wound driven up from the earth
and speaks coldly, in a chilled and lightbroken night:
I am the wind-extinguished light,
the dearest sorrowfriend you met,
all those left traces in the marsh
The Second Wound, cast around self-defence,
gorged in a hopelessly coldstricken embrace
that has soon used up all of this vulnerability
and reached in to Time to be awaken as bent:
Sorrow has played too long on its own board
with Life set up to become a fickle nothing
(Hidden times were fully rooted in advance
as Fate now hands in herself as fully written.)
Final peels of pity scraped down
A cold grip soon to be turned right
There, over this hushed dusk
a trembling candle flickering
risen as shimmering: Clarity,
Home to the very last wound

THE THIRD WOUND
Early, just before the day notices me, scars me again,comes The First Wound driven up from the earth
and speaks coldly, in a chilled and lightbroken night:
I am the wind-extinguished light,
the dearest sorrowfriend you met,
all those left traces in the marsh
The Second Wound, cast around self-defence,
gorged in a hopelessly coldstricken embrace
that has soon used up all of this vulnerability
and reached in to Time to be awaken as bent:
Sorrow has played too long on its own board
with Life set up to become a fickle nothing
(Hidden times were fully rooted in advance
as Fate now hands in herself as fully written.)
Final peels of pity scraped down
A cold grip soon to be turned right
There, over this hushed dusk
a trembling candle flickering
risen as shimmering: Clarity,
Home to the very last wound
