"Poem Written by Electric Light"
And I do not after all
Know so much about
This dark business of
Belonging to the future.
And Cassilda will have sung
And I will know little more
Than the patter of raindrops
Soft on my windshield.
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa. Shell casings
Scatter the playground
And the city's not rebuilt
That the superstorm shattered.
In the morning we get up
Before it is even light,
Peer through boarded-up windows
To see if it's safe.
Of course it's not safe.
And Cassilda will have sung
In the raw darkness
Not calling to us
But calling through us
To leave this wreck of today,
Its foolish expenditures
Of flesh, of spirit;
Our car breaks down and
We refuse to walk away
From a fast approaching train
And what would it take to go?
Maybe only to
Hear Cassilda sing
And not be afraid.
