Title: More by Mervyn Peake>>>...

*CONCEIT*

I heared a winter tree in song
Its leaves were birds, a hundred strong;
When all at once it ceased to sing,
For every leaf had taken wing.

*We Are The Haunted People*

We are the haunted people
We, who guess blindly at the seed
That flowers
Into the crimson caption,
Hazarding
The birth of that inflamed
Protentous placard that will lose its flavour
Within an hour,
The while the dark seeds move that gave the words
A b****** birth
And hour by hour
Bursts a new gentian flower
Of bitter savour
We have no power...no power...
We are the haunted people,
We...
The last loose tasselated fringe that flies
Into the col of aeons from a dark
Dynastic gown.

*To Maeve*

You walk unaware
Of the slender gazelle
That moves as you move
And is one with the limbs
That you have.

You live unaware
Of the faint, the unearthly
Echo of hooves
That within your white streams
Of clear clay that I love

Are in flight as you furn,
As you stand, as you move,
As you sleep, for the slender
Gazelle never rests
In your ivory grove.
