Rebecca Wolff
Dark Roads
In a continuing
for now
by hand
with just the sounds it is truly
a dangerous mission
tragic and heroic
lone traveler
Overall, the sounds
pertain—more importantly
the sound
obtains
and all is not quiet today on these dark roads
just one extra face
and cloaked
and not saying anything on foot—importantly—
hand follows foot
this time.
What you see here, above
the blackened trees
their tall spiny future are the annals of a dark
blue inadequate
This way I say
"You made it through"
a seemingly narrow passage
Only I
darkening
for years and years
and now
is it not disturbing
to ask a question
against a book with quiet footfall
with hooded
imposter.
