the sack cloth way


When the dawn is found to be dusk
When the sun has set at noon day
With the moon blood red
What is the color of the sack cloth way

When the Prophet turns and shakes off the dust
When the sins are forever bound
With the wrath of God loosed
What way have you found

When the fortunate are the dead
When the living are caught in their own snare
With the caves a prayer for the grave
What is the way found there

When the flight is from the bear
When the escape is to the lion's jaw
With curled up like a woman in travail
What is the way which you saw

When the day is a shadow for three
When your sun has already set
With the dawn discovered to be dusk
What is the way which you met
