light falls
9-9-95
light falls from the sky
like the robe that falls from a woman
preparing for bed
deer stand in the field
like trees
bats flutter
hailing the return of darkness
eating each moment of this stillness like a meal
i find that i'm full with this dinner
and have no room for
your dessert of words
let us be satisfied
with this moment my friend
with this drunken fullness
of the body
