Calyx

   Dark is the Night
   And numb is the wind
The Dark makes so noise
As the Silence does
   Just she’s at the window
Of some Nightly Tree
        And blue goes the Tree
        And blue goes her
The Pallid Blue of her eyes
On the darkness
Wavers as the Candle does –
With a hesitant – fearful – breath –
             Extinguish
