A Wrong Turn

Standing on deathway, 
choking back tears, 
for a stance.  

There were few minutes left, 
when you took the cover
under pervasive falcon.

Was it not a 
molestation of a baby moon, 
when you wash your sin in dimlight.

Amazing was the 
religion of short legs. 
An ailing mother was waiting at door.

You strike a chord
(while I don’t stir) 
before anointing the dark.

The battle of penultimates, 
after a hill down 
shackled to river.
