The Desolate Field

Vast and grey, the sky

is a simulacrum

to all but him whose days

are vast and grey, and⁠—

In the tall, dried grasses

a goat stirs

with nozzle searching the ground.

—my head is in the air

but who am I⁠ ⁠… ?

And amazed my heart leaps

at the thought of love

vast and grey

yearning silently over me.
