This evening, Miss September reads her very short poem “Night Dress.” Please watch to the end and follow us.
Origins
We dared to look past
kind Lethe's shores, finding such
promised joy and pain;
since then, this world holds no light –
ye Gods, I want to go home.

Shattered
Night has not ended
for thousands of years, yet I
hoped, vainly, for dawn.

Even standing still, the sycamore
still shelters
its umbra
from the sun, like an umbrella
from the rain, without fail.

Though all I can do
is hold you in memory,
I will be faithful.

Empath's Nightmare
I still hear, across
this vaulted temple, the sound
of lonely weeping;
but, powerless, I may give
no respite, help or comfort.
