I see you all - from the street where I lay, shot through with a roaring thunder- still it sounds far away. Heart pale as the moon, body thin as the wind, remove me, the dust on your windowpane. What is my name but a sign on a wall? No time for fear or anger, no answer when I call. I rise like smoke to the sun, erase the light like a cloud. Disturb me, the ash beneath your feet. Now tomorrow's too late for me In the 9th moon of the year. Set a course to a blinding sun with sails afire. If I asked you to wait for me, the wind is all you'd hear. I am nowhere and everywhere and I wait for ever. I heard it all, while the Summer turned to Fall. Heard you cry out in blind confusion at the foot of the castle wall. I reach for your hand through the fire while silence explodes into light, cold as the stones beneath your feet.
