THAT THEY DARE CARE TO SHARE

"the road back"
The doors slide back on guides of simple choice,
A single step dividing then from now.

A Black Sheep
A black sheep
Deaf to bellwether
Hidden by darkening geese …
As if darkness was its origin
And light of love unfriened
Its being …
Betrayed by color of wool
A signature not of its choosing
It backs up into the... [read more] |
