Tread thin across the pale moonlight
Was ache and burn in sober fright
Tracked by scar and frail footstep
Was wicked lull in every death
So too, the tune of silent fools
We lept from never sturdy stools
For grim regret and naked neck
Tread wild yonder daylight howl
Was bone and cast in drunken marrow
Tracked by scent and cancer crept
Was wretched love in every death
So too, the tune of sacred hues
We lept from ever stalwart stools
For grave repent and naked neck
Fled today with nothing left
