Broken sinking stillness
Of the shattered damp night
The crying of watching owls
But silence of their flight
Creeping in moonfrost
Clue passages at dark
Scented garden floral bells
Shooting through chipped bark
Coughing of the heating pipe
With mist and vapour swirl
Prologue to a chapter's turn
As streets in raindrops twirl
Of the shattered damp night
The crying of watching owls
But silence of their flight
Creeping in moonfrost
Clue passages at dark
Scented garden floral bells
Shooting through chipped bark
Coughing of the heating pipe
With mist and vapour swirl
Prologue to a chapter's turn
As streets in raindrops twirl
