Song Of The Gone
 

 

by Marie Rennard

 

Polesy (Polésie) **

 

 

(Swans - August 11, 2008)  

The wet heat was dying in the darkness of night. A weeping waltz was
playing tenderness and regrets, soft orange lights caressing the stone
walls, the marble Madonna staying up the tower. Down, on the place of the
village, a lonely mad was dancing, his arms raised above head,
face-offered to the moon. When the music stopped, he gave a reverence, and
suddenly laughing at the fart he'd left out bending down, he went running
along the westward lane, eager to catch up with the sun.
