You are set apart from me It's true I was removed from you Yet I'm reminded to remember you To remember you encompa** me With infinite concentricity In layers deep, in layers wide In a kaleidophone of singing light Beneath our feet our children sleep Centermost in the realm of dreams Sweethearts known that long ago Time was a weapon of time The wise can show that long ago is now I see you were removed from me I see my sight relayed from you You must return before you leave Hand in hand we precisely greet Where the lintel and the threshold meet No-one is home if someone is here In a shallow pool a body takes shape Its brain grows larger than the world The cosmic axis for its throne The children stir - the dream recedes They are centermost in their waking state The central point of the triumphal age Age devours the prior age Like rival birds of parallel power Engulfing one and then the other The great gospel makes it so Sweethearts know that long ago Time is a weapon of time The wise can show that long ago is now Soon I will have pa**ed through it Through layers of depth wider than light In a shallow stream a body dissolves Its animal song moves it along Seeking its level it creeps toward the dawn As the dawn must welcome the dawn Sweethearts know that long ago Time is/was a weapon of time The wise can show that long ago is now
