I Tella Lelyalla / The Last Traveller



Elenion nárëa únótimë

Countless flaming stars
glide
flowerlike in the breeze
raindrops gather
as the dusk becomes
winds scream and soar and deluge over bending shadows
embers spangle quickly
and die at the first touch –
boots besmeared with ashes –
the King's funeral pyre is extinguishing.
