Life and Dark
A huge hawk flew across my mind. The accident flung every detail aside—how much yogurt to buy-- I was writing a grocery list when the call came-- stars thrown into a sky so black I can’t even see the dull light points of your life anymore. My mind fell limp, like watching someone drown when I can’t swim a lick, or plunging into a cave with bats, moon and sun obliterated all at once. The hawk drags away words-- leaves nothing to say. |
