IV
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.
"There are no eyes here"- there is no god here?
ReplyDeleteHopelessness...but yet bound together inside of it. If all will die, then all will die together. In this train of thought the reappearing eye sounds like a darker side..."of death's twilight kingdom"...the devil will then claim them if god leaves them?
Hopelessness. The last meeting place.
