Appearances
Once white.
Hair white to take faint light.
Foot of pallet, just visible edge of frame.
Once white to take faint light.
Stands there staring beyond.
Nothing.
Empty dark.
till first word always the same, night after night the same.
Birth.
Then slow fade up of a faint form, out of the dark.
A window, looking west.
Sun long sunk behind the larches.
Light dying, soon none left to die.
No, no such thing as no light.
Starless, moonless heaven dies on to dawn and never dies.
There in the dark, that window.
Night slowly falling.
Eyes to the small pane gaze at that first night.
Turn from it in the end to face the darkened room.
There in the end, slowly, a faint hand, holding aloft a lighted spill.
