Into the dark

  Drumbeat in the darkmoving shadow, kestrel flightdust flickers, earlier lives. Heartbeat in the lightmorning hastens glossof possibility: hare turns, dog whinesbutton up shut tight. You bring laughtermercurial: wheel of fortune turnsexactly as before. Drumbeat in the nightin dreams I fly five hundredyears of this & will you remember? Fox call, rabbit dies;all is passing timea touch, a kiss, a memory of how it should be.
