a white swan

the surface of the river calm and black
reflects the sky, the pale moon
and there a glimpse caught of myself
I'm shattered, the vision is ruined

an arrow from the water
a serpent rips my mind
into the black river of Death
with a slash across my heart

my last sight a white swan
behind the swan a starless sky
under the sky a coal black river
reflected a bone white moon
