The Captives

The Captives

Beneath the cartwheeling stars
I veered from the road,
Ensnared in the flow
Of a new underworld

I strayed from the reach
Of a spent young love,
Love sown in the east
The cross-fire of sorrows

Tomorrow lives underground
Ablaze as love sleeps
Fading from the full hearts
Of its aimless captives
