Trample the skies to whiteness, turns like a moving dune

To gaze at the shade of Helen. His eyes as the skies are vast;

Seeing her sleep like a swallow in Death’s wide bed at last.

Helen stood

Within the tremendous circle of the paws,

Moving like light towards the dark secret heart.

The Sphinx cried terribly with a wordless sound

Of birth and anguish struggling to be heard ...

And the light vanished ...

And Helen and the Sphinx
