it's time to get to work

   Up the mountain   
at the top of the trees
hang the colored figures
that the birds of prey have scattered.

On the prowl near mossy rocks
to the inner source
the wolf is watching
quivering muzzle.

Rise from the valley
the procession of humans
scraping from their studded shoes
the pebbles of the railway.

Stopping in the clearing
they lay down the burden
this dead body
on a broken beech trunk.

The songs rise of the other time
elsewhere and today
marriage of guttural sounds
and mild complaints
like a growing love ending.

Over the forest
the solar star explodes
pushing away the morning mists
it straightens the reversed forces.

It's time to get to work
to lay the dewdrops on the foliage
then to light the fire of fertility
blossoming into infinity.
