In spent fields the ravens glean;
we walk and the black waves pull apart.
"The sunset is coming soon,
what I had I gave to you"
I softly laugh.
"And when the stars come out?"
she laughs,
softer still.

A dream!
And when the stars go out
ravens feed
on sallow flesh
hung on hollow bones
savour the eyes for last.
