New Light Unspoken
Nocturnal flower
In need of sleep
Your petals wilt
The count for sheep
New dawn unpromised
The die is cast
A croupier blocking
Sun’s setting mask
Through endless courtship
Dreams on the run
A jester whispers
Till sleep has come
The meadow sparse
Its reaper gone
New light unspoken
—your buds in song
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
