it's as if some lily pads
were shadowed by Lotus Pads.
.
I don't feel settled
It's as if the moon was tracing my thoughts
so that guilt gazes through my bones.
.
I'm not certain either
It's as if the night were masked with a racoon's smell
and a lone wolf awaits to howl by dawn.
.
Do you have patience for the day to yawn?
.
Let the dog bark
while I pull myself back to Mark's dark.
