Fallen Out of Brilliant Day
Adagio
A la notte oscura
Per Cristo Gesu
I have gone down into the dark,
Down to the places under the earth,
Where no light is, and I but barely breathe,
I have gone down from the perfect
Afternoon, bright blue skies,
The glass of wine, the fond embrace,
To the empty place where the heart
Is halt, and the hard breath
Is knotted beneath my breast,
In the vast caverns of the night
The words seep towards me,
Pool, and still to silence,
Where will I find the sighs
To pray, fallen out of brilliant day,
In this hour of evacuation,
Calando
Where tears flood words away?
