"Tonight,
The old, shapeless Clouds
Will gather to a meeting.
Their misty, foggy whisper
Will be spelling curses for the
Sun.
In the end they will decide to
muster
All their strength
And pile on by dawn
Everything they have - black and
grey and white -
On the eastern end…
To stop the Sun.
But I will wake up early,
My hands will spread
And into wings congeal,
My eyes -
Two lightnings, blue as sky…
Then I will charge,
Impetuous as fire,
The cold and cloudy plot
And stab it through the heart…
Before the dawning of the Sun".
