Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dark Star
Alak's Song
Where are you going,
Naia?
Through the still noon -
Where are you going?
To hear the thunder of the sea
And the wind blowing! -
To find a stormy moon to comfort me
Across the dune!
Why are you weeping,
Naia?
Through the still noon -
Why are you weeping?
Because I found no wind, no sea,
No white surf leaping,
Nor any flying moon to comfort me
Upon the dune.
What did you see there,
Naia?
In the still noon -
What did you see there?
Only the parched world drowsed in drought,
And a fat bee, there,
Prying and probing at a poppy's mouth
That drooped a-swoon.
