the grass is greening
and voices begin to rise
i wander further
the distance between the tall oaks
and my bare feet
merely a few steps
the front door
not always left ajar
often thrown off its hinges
anger an anvil of weight
a battering ram
tightened
the moon rises and night falls
withering cries
cardinals fly west
and venus readies herself
for a second showing
an exchange
invaluable its rate
but just the same
someone's coming
or going

the moon rises and night falls
withering cries
cardinals fly west
and venus readies herself
for a second showing

invaluable its rate
but just the same
