The Running Wild

Darling,

You are the water
Fall—
The
Effluent—

The running wild in my dreams
The hooves untamed upon green summer fields
The wind that has forgotten winter;

Darling,

You are the night
Fall—
The
Exodus—

The purging of the memories
The fleet and velvet wings adrift on clouds
The sky that has remembered stars.

Darling,

You are my moon
Light—

And I
Will wait—

For you.
