They flutter, now I see
Fiery lions…
They're dancing with me
Sunlight…
Come out and shine down

she shivers—nude, forlorn.

Auld Lange Syne

Over harvested fields —
I walk beneath the fading afterglow
of a forgotten lantern a path worn
by wanderers older than the scroll of Zeno
its damp salve seeping through my coat
into my bones
Fog an Erebian curtain...
