the misstep
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010walked beneath the half-moon night
half in shadow, half in light
Orion raised his spear at me
suspended in eternity
trampled on a daffodil
in the dark side, in the chill
bent to touch the fragments tossed
feeling for the life I’d lost
here was simple tenderness
gone
one step, unseen, amiss
