The Desolate Field

 Vast and grey, the sky
is a simulacrum
to all but him whose days
are vast and grey and—
In the tall, dried grasses
a goat stirs
with nozzle searching the ground.
My head is in the air but who am I .
.
.
? —and my heart stops amazed at the thought of love vast and grey yearning silently over me.
