The Eleven

No more time to tell how

This is the season of what

Now is the time of returning

With thought jewels polished and gleaming



Now is the time past believing

The child has relinquished the reign

Now is the test of the boomerang

Tossed in the night of redeeming



Eight sided whispering hallelujah hatrack

Seven faced marble eye transitory dream doll

six proud walkers on jinglebell rainbow

Five men writing in fingers of gold

Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale

Three girls wait in a foreign dominion

Ride in the whale belly

Fade away in moonlight

Sink beneath the waters

to the coral sand below

Now is the time of returning
