Song At the End of the Road

Drinking from the portrait 
of an alienated moon
in a self-taught remedy?

I was looking very
hurt in the muse,which
had failed the earth.

I wanted to say, my
sun was my sun,
broken, eclipse by eclipse.

Who was traitor to oneself ?
Sifting the leaves of a
raptor,to find the death

under the shade of
sundew, which blooms
when you become an insect.

I can hear the cricket singing at the end of the road! But perhaps that is not quite the insect you meant. Smiles.
