Risk of Darkness

before me
dark horses move slowly into dusk
dust hangs low in their shuffling trot
confuses consumes the reddened horizon descending still
their wary glances from eyes too dark to see leave me
abandon all but
the risk of 
darkness

The Shadows of Crow

ah the impossibilities of this 
deepest untroubled sleep
seeing the sparking edge
of a moon burning away 
what's left 
of my
deserted 
earth
the wind rises 
sings from the hymnal
of hills 
gospel 
of dreams
now the moon pillows me
soothes me in the tremors
or the coming 
shadows of 
crow
