p e n c h a n t

walked 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
