Alan Patrick Traynor: WHERE WITHERED OSPREYS PREY UPON THE CLOUDS

Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού

Born is the wind
Because love is a catastrophe
Wings unopened
Restlessness in the open

Wrath upon the wild
Life is neither, with or without you
I saw you
Where the wild Osprey sleeps

I am both, night and day
Numb in the sceptriferous noise
Woebegone be the wind through the petals
Pour my love into thee

Love is a wasteland

The weathered scalpeled bonds of colours arouse
My eyes
Sometime’s beautiful

Love is a wasteland

To be held by winter’s bones
Love my companion
O winter my opulent friend

O the white rose
Born into the water that has travelled
West into the midlands

O my white rose
Drown me in such light
Wash the borrowed grass with a new sun

Leave the crying mires
O Love, it is a bird
Crying in my hand

Cry out from the east

O my soul
O my soul
Least I wither

Witherdom in chains
Chaste robins wait in earnest

Climbing into loneliness
Are the dandelions
Longing are the ravens of the west

Sighing are the bridges of my discontent
Woebegone
My love, longing are the shores upon your breast

Lost are the shooting stars

West of thy soul
East of thy soul

North of my heart

Forever
Waiting on the rim
Of clouds
