Listen.
The air thin with one picked faun.
His brother in the flower,
pleading.
The air thin.
His sister on the stone,
weeping. The tide in.
The wind rising.
Remember, sister.
In the sanctuary.
Roof of sunleaves, walls
of stone, ivy on walls
of stone. Trees. Humus
on steps of stone. Bright
graffiti.
Flower bravely, let your petals fall on it.
Listen.
The air thin with one picked faun.
On the steps in the leaflight
listen and weep.
In the sunshrine, branch-sanctuary,
leafchapel, weep
for the brother.
Let your tears fall on it.
Among the graffiti carve in the stone
a symbol
for the sister.
