To the Light of September

... that have fallen through the night ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Far Company

... though it must have been where my eyes were then ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Song of Three Smiles

...   Your heart loves harbors  ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

To Luck

... who are secret as the day when it comes  ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

The Asians Dying

... When the forests have been destroyed their darkness remains  ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

The Way to the River

... Be here I am no longer ashamed of time it is too brief its hands  ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Identity

... and for feeling along the dark undersides ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

In Time

... when we heard those explosions not far away ...
