Objects moved vaguely
past peripheral spectrums,
through dilated pupils,
on a cobblestone passway,
...

Sleeping silhouettes, passing-
over a beaconed circled Moon,
glistening with silver white sheen
like stars upon the blackest sky;

We are the pawns,
not even the Knights

{Dedicated to the Annular Solar Eclipse of May 20th,2012}

...

Breathing was shallow
the earwigs were sucking
the death out of pinewood remains-
Who goes there?
