The Moon has set,
And the Pleiades;
In the dead of night
The hours slip by,
I lie here alone.
SAPPHO (as remetered by LJ)
Unstuck in time,
I cover myself
In garlands of stars and nebulae,
Hiding my nakedness
In clever words
And knowing glances
That hint of insight
And passionate experience.
Bright dawn scatters everything.
