The dark as time <br /> breached will fade <br /> as rising light <br /> ingests its shade. <br /> <br /> Asterisk stars <br /> perforate night, <br /> thick sable pall <br /> siphoned white. <br /> <br /> To a pendulum text <br /> all grief consents: <br /> white days, but next, <br /> night's grave descents. <br /> <br /> <br /> WFD <br /> 'Descant'- Texas Christian University <br /> Literary Journal Vol.26. No.2.<br /><br />William F Dougherty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-of-the-wheel/
