I buried this romance today
Deep in the graveyard of my bones
I carried the corpse in my dream-draped memory
Stiff and dressed in Sunday best
It was illusion after all
Fairy tale and daydream
I had returned from the sea and
All my trees, driftwood and oak
Leaf-bare and sad
Aligned silently for the procession
Mourning as mothers and moon
For the fallen sun
