Dark Field

Waxing gibbous

 
In a fallow field

in the owled dark

you'd never know

the world was sinking

weighted down

with people garbage guns


In a fallow field

in the owled dark

only the voices of clouds

dripping moonlight

only the engines of moths

staggering south


In a fallow field

in the owled dark

everything in silhouette

indistinct unforeseen

everything poorly illuminated

what he liked about the night


Not people

in the owled dark

you'd never know.
