“Yesterday’s: Evening to Night”

2017?



Try to lay lightly

In that tall grass


Late, the sky looked

Burning for the past


Calling, bereft and empty, the Sun returned 

But alas, left the man and the wolf half turned


Then asked, “Why and where?”

It is that the heels tamp, trample and tear


Pulling at strings the shadowed warmth stared


Back through the horizon 

Hardly recognizing


That it didn’t just lust for her

But for what was theirs
