216, Safe in their Alabaster Chambers - Version 2


Written Text

Safe in their Alabaster Chambers —
Untouched by Morning —
and untouched by noon —
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection,
Rafter of Satin and Roof of Stone —

Grand go the Years,
In the Crescent above them —
Worlds scoop their Arcs —
and Firmaments — row —
Diadems — drop —
And Doges surrender —
Soundless as Dots,
On a Disk of Snow.
