Restive

Pale candlelight shatters the darkness,
scatters the faint shadows all around

       like flickering silhouettes in a stream,
       like ripples longing to make a sound.

Tonight, nomadic stirrings push me on
to be away for a while on my own.

       Promises, for now, cannot tie me down.
       I must go, I walk fastest when I'm alone.
