lyric poem

among the smoke and fog of a december afternoon
and still they walked on
the air is like a butterfly
you are clear
the darkness rolls upward
the smell of the rose so false, the thorns so true
stand here by my side
leave the lovely words unsaid
sleep, gray brother of death
since, if you stood by my side today
days endeared to every muse
i have to say good-night
