Our Stories
In dens
over moss shrouded heaps,
and corners without light
where smoke still wafts
from unlit doors
in back alleys,
the voices of quiet conspiritors
murmur in the night.
Bare lightbulbs
cracked walls,
concrete floor
and dinge tinted shadows
and teeth,
shown in sly smiles
and resting,
lost on the cold damp earth.
And outside
where whispers riffle
branch tips,
sending the hanging drops
to forest floor,
to compost,
to bed--
the solid ground regenerates.
Then daylight,
and our stories
swirl through sunbeams
after the rain,
and scurry
into undiscovered recesses
waiting to lilt
through dark and damp again.
