The Belldog

Most of the day
We were at the machinery
In the dark sheds
That the seasons ignore

I held the levers
That guided the signals to the radio
But the words I receive, random code
Broken fragments from before

Out in the trees
My reason deserting me
All the dark stars
Cluster over the bay

Then in a sudden moment, I lose control
And at last I am part of the machinery
(The belldog) Where are you?
And the light disappears
As the world makes its circles through the sky
