IN PLUTO'S REALM

The day has sank

to the abyss of the night,

the Sun on its golden barge

gone to rule

over distant lands.

From his bleak realm

has Pluto risen

to rule over those

in dream sharing

the sleep of the dead.

To those watching

the ink-blank night

behind their barriers

of fire and light,

the lord of silence tells:

'You too shall sleep,

you awake

in the night of the dead,

you too shall dream

and never awaken.'
