20.) I Rise A Lifeless Form, Dead But Waiting . . .




               I rise a lifeless form, dead but waiting
The fire falls, and on me shines true
Wherever he finds room.
From his first refraction, lamp-lit nights
And silver sister-beams illumine
In all the phases of his bridal moon

Calling through the dark the sun’s own sound
From my inner face shining is his lesser light
Pulling by his power the inner thoughts of men
Turning in his mirrored beam their inner life
Until he falls again and melts below the Earth
Where no man slips beneath to steal his light
