Meeting of the Ferals

exhaustion has so many layers: 
when devils settle into joints
naps turn into marathon affairs
concentration gaps run rampant
remnants of zest circle the drain

perhaps due to feral disease
or a brief rash of boredom 
or just a blot of burr and blues
more likely the foothills of old age

for certain youth has blown away
dreams blinded in the dry grass of life
just ahead -up a steep granite pass
something feral, heavy hooved-sniffing
