Is it there at the corner

that insect song under the setting sun

gliding through the dim air

a few drops of dew tonight

You pass

pass through a wilderness of vivid green

crossing at this one point of time and space

creeping slowly into your brows, your temples

frail as gossamer

and yet it tethers you by the neck


Don't look back

looking back is a midnight song

and you need to sleep in peace
