Weep no More

Riding on a cloud
High above the world
So beautiful
Flowing along the line
Of her back
The one
Who taught me how to write
She passes in the sky
In rooted tangle
Only to give me
At last
When I am dead
Hope to return
I have seen her constellation
Dressed in green
Tailed like a rat
And then fall away
Here
With me
Burning in secrets
Of nothing whatsoever
I shall see her again
Ended is what I have begun
Only to begin again
Show me
Weep no more
