religious poem

the little pitiful, worn, laughing faces
when the wind works against us in the dark
i reside at table mountain
when night drifts along the streets of the city
i am weary of being bitter and weary of being wise
i am in love with high far-seeing places
among the smoke and fog of a december afternoon
so fallen
who is the runner in the skies
all day to watch the blue wave curl and break
i do not pray for peace
still her gray rocks tower above the sea
i flung my soul to the air like a falcon flying
in the dark and peace of my final bed
