Death

Loureine Aber

I AM waiting for the white winds to come,

White with the long-whispering dust,

Withered under hoofs and feet,

White with the mountains that blow their sleep

Into the sea.

I am waiting for the white winds to come,

Lifting their hands as beautiful women clad for the moon;

And soon, ah soon,

Lifting my heart to be ashes and wind.
