Nightwatch

I follow crumbs at

Dusk along the damp 

Earth. Will tomorrow’s 

Materialize?

---

I wish I had your

Wings, could soar free and

See the water, the

Moon reflected whole.

---

Instead it’s like a

Maze of green hedges,

Young Alice meets the

Minotaur. The night’s

---

Labyrinth fills me

With echoes and 

Trembling, but honeyed

Manna sweetens the

---

Amber sky, fireflies

Tracing your shadow’s 

Whispers in the warm

Womb of evening light.
