    Wake me

    in paroxysms of twilight

     

    Its soft voice

    under the trees

     

    Spent beams

    quivering in a dim arc

    above faded stone

     

    Guide me

    along moss-bejewelled

    thoroughfares 

    heraldic frescoes

    of silver and blue

     

    Let me kneel at the river’s edge

    rake my fingers

    through incandescent loam

     

    Wake me

    where threadbare pennons

    from gothic bowers dangle

     

    Lift me

    with mornings untamed requiem

     

    Wake me

    among the dead lamps reclusive bleeding

     

    Wake me in the twilight.

    Very interesting...Why is it "untitled"?
