shadows begin to creak
and soot pours into my sneaker
it is

but wait...there is sound
a brittle crunch
a hollow whistle
a wooden sigh
at the ravine we find mud
and a coyote's bones
neatly laid out
each rib softly rests
in its place
or maybe it is a pet friend
a pair of hawks shriek from above
we see you!
we see you.
my view opens up and out
i can see all the way across
all
the
way
across
to homes where my feet found warmth
and
to houses i peeked around corners to see
a storm of fire imagines in my eye
flickers and dies
as i walk and walk and sit and look and look
i spot sprites of kelly green
i can only think
i see you.
