ARTIFICIAL DUSK

Solid but ethereal

The forms

At the lake

And on the road

Beyond the fence

And in the wind

Are scarecrows

From your past.

You see them as

Signposts for your future

But yours is the way

Of always.

Denying them would be your

Ruin.

And your shadow would sink

Into a community of darkness,

The bodies piled in ever larger

Black clusters.
