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.
