night sky the trickster
~september 2018~
moth flew into the fire
she was looking for the sun
night sky the trickster
dark grew closer
to the side of my bed
where i cannot see
night sky the trickster
midnight houses
~march 2022~
a sick dog in the street
howls between midnight houses
a whimpering cry for help
a whimpering cry for help
plentiful wolves past
the whistled trees
cry back in unison
we could not help you
a sick dog in the street
reminded
all of his families of people
who took him into homes
changed him, too far, too gone
too far, too changed
