Who are still with us.
They are not like us, they are

On their way in the rain
To meet their lovers.
On their way with their dark umbrellas,
Always laughing, so quick,
Like limbs flying back
In a boat before night,
So constant,
Like the glass floats
The fisherman use in Japan.

For us the same news
We do not receive. — Frank Stanford
