Miles Awake
Miles Awake
Miles of the Stones,
Shadows of Shapes,
Show Path for Dawns,
Where Sunlight shakes
Twilight Denials,
Anguish of Nights:
Numbering Dials’s
Seemingly right!..
Seeming is lying –
Lying’s a Look
Into Denying,
Made by a Crook,
Into Oblivion
Doing in Rush:
In all that limping and
Wavering Lush,
Rages of Robberies,
Probing of Pride,
Cages for throbbing Grease,
Call to decide
What will be moving next, –
Doing to make;
Now, where Decision rests,
Learn – and awake!..
