No Return
The sinking sun,
The old green fields
Young,
Tangled in verse,
In fancy skirts.
A kiss in time as
Stands a shadow,
The apples bent the trees
As time unraveled.
The slow quietness
That condemns my thoughts,
If not for tears or slumber lost.
Reasons are only reasons,
I am not sure, the swallows
Wings were broken, though
Flying blue and airy.
It’s only a defect of the mind,
That the wind refused to carry.
