|
|
|
|
from the clouds, jaws gripped round
|
|
the light that slots the rumpled birches'
|
|
just-unburdened boughs
|
|
|
|
trackless in the frowzled leaves,
|
|
she suddens over yearning
|
|
roots,
|
|
scarlet ember of the summer's
|
|
afterlife, tugging sunset
|
|
taut
|
|
along the eaves
|
|
|
|
skies groan grateful
|
|
as their skin stretches
|
|
thin
|
|
and their bones show through
|
|
|
|
no one hears her straining
|
|
breath
|
|
before the snap
|
|
|
|
no one sees her tumble to her
|
|
den in the hollow
|
|
-chested
|
|
night
|
|
|
|
bottomless hours on,
|
|
pushed in the barrow of a robin's
|
|
song,
|
|
dawn
|
|
overflows the dark
|
|
|
|
yet no one knows if or when
|
|
she'll wake again
|
|
to save the day from day
|
