What Brilliance Buys
You're wild, a wailing whirlwind
Walking westward,
Discontent to see the sun's demise.
In fact, in truth, I might surmise,
You'd whirl your way
Past watching eyes,
Deafly doomed to disbelieve
Their songs and shouts,
Their screams, their sighs,
Their lovers' gasps
And childrens' cries.
What well-worn prayers
Could you reprise
To lift them up,
To make them rise?
What promise-ghosts
Could you devise
To lift their hands
Towards heaven's skies?
If only words were willed to you,
What whims they might incite.
Westward would they whirl with you,
To see what brilliance buys.
