The Heart Is 73% Water





Dusk is coming

Rain is moving east over the hills

Ironweed and goldenrod

Bowing to ground

Pantlegs soaked to the knees

I listen to hear what I've lost

The breath of September

High in the crowns

The breath of the living

Risen to cloud

The days winding back

Each of us waiting alone

In the cycle of rain

For our own evanescence.
