night’s a stranger
and i can’t go
home..
this
alone,
can’t even find
the house.
++++
could garden’s
quicksand
have..
swallowed
it whole?
now to wait for
new one to
grow.

the barnyard gate’s
been left
swinging open,
clanging
iron
in wrath of a
bad breeze
again,
and i can’t find
a roaming
hen
let alone a
lone egg
intact
and mister rooster
snored through
his alarm
again,
family farm’s
become
a powder
keg,
so i ease the gate
closed and
lock it,
but sadly, won’t be
coming back
to check
on it..
no, not
again.

lost is where
you’ll find
me
at the precipice
of ‘good and
gone’..
peering back at
so many ‘see
you laters”
fading down shame’s
path out of
town
onward to the
next one
++++
still lost..
but moving
lighter,
stepping
forward onto..
patch a shade
greener
than ones
before
it..
in hopes the
welcome’s
warmer
where new
sun’s lit.
