Loathe to return
from the sun-lit ledge
the valley below still
shadowed by peaks
and cutting across it
a dream of a lake
voiceless
for a while we didn’t
even speak just felt
the warmth of sun
the chill of wind
attuned and not attenuated
Emily’s right the soul
has its moments
bandaged escaped retaken–
all the way down
it felt like shackles
the hours closing in
again appallingly
close so terribly
still
