night after night
the white haunts me
whispers taunt me
breeze going past.
a tree mocks me
standing in the field
flirting with grass.
a four-legged barks
a winged one marks
dark come and go.
day after day
like the dried tree
sun takes from me
the desire to be.
like the barren bay
once with all the spirit
and now none to say.
