shuffling down toward the borderline
red in the eye
losing track of time
the big rock wanes
the little ones scrape the bottoms of my feet
bursts of gold are up above like something in a dream
been gone a long time
wandering around
trying to find where we’d skip rocks on the water
the sinking eyes, the changing plain
the many things to dread
the sense of chase when lying there wide awake in bed
the big rock wanes
the little ones scrape the palms of my hands
darkening my knuckles and releasing once again
been gone a long time
wondering about
the time you cried when you lost your blanket in the water
is this how it is from now on?
is the sun sinking down on the pasture?
can i go back to the ordinary,
to be enthralled by the colors of twilight summer?
