Prophecy
English source:
Emily Berry
There were days / my sun would set
without ever / having been seen
the sky hung grey / & extraordinary
over smooth green lawns / I was so sad
& I did not think / my sadness
would ever stop / but one day
it did / I have seen the wind
agitate the trees / beyond all reason
you would not think / they could
stand it / but they stood it
whatever they could let go / they let go
without ever / having been seen
the sky hung grey / & extraordinary
over smooth green lawns / I was so sad
& I did not think / my sadness
would ever stop / but one day
it did / I have seen the wind
agitate the trees / beyond all reason
you would not think / they could
stand it / but they stood it
whatever they could let go / they let go
