Once under silent stars I kneeled weeping,

      Once under silent stars I kneeled weeping,
      I sewed a night-black dress for funeral keeping;
      Seeded by midnight threads of loves kept waiting
      The breads we held together kept their braiding.
5     And far past the trenchant moon's unlacing
      Glittered cakes and icy lights. My bleeding
      Starts: my nightly heart lies beating
      In a funeral dress of white threading
      White as these stone breads our hands keep kneading.
