Lost Land in the SarabandA Poem by Hunter MuirheadDarling don’t go lusting through
that luminous land The regret could never bring back
your dull blind eye Once I heard that sacred sound in
the saraband Let’s look past their foolish
teardrop lies and withstand That plaguy Mediterranean hang fly Darling don’t go lusting through
that luminous land Many have gone in searching for the
upper hand Except with this man whom first
fell for its dry cry Once I heard that sacred sound in
the saraband Night ends when this land forgets
to steal our last brand But its air is fat with a blank
corpse on standby Darling don’t go lusting through
that luminous land Blood red iron runs free through a
cast of a limp hand In its pipes, which pass by a dry
wine’s Windsor tie Once I heard that sacred sound in
the saraband Sickness flooded that realm under
uneasy concrete sand No bad man’s deed can change that
sad lasting stone sigh Darling don’t go lusting through
that luminous land Once I heard that sacred sound in
the saraband © 2016 Hunter Muirhead |
