after Untitled (Man Reading Newspaper) by William Cumming
A life, soul-sized,
its boundaries uncertain
the wind summons the future
seeks guidance for the road ahead
Holding the clouds in my hands
I rest the swallow against my cheek
and dream of the mountains
murmuring answers
I call out to the lone wolf,
with his rhinestone-filled eyes:
shine a light into the darkness,
be my spirit angel
The puzzle pieces remain scattered
lessons pitter-patter on little feet
through grass cool and dark
while wisdom gallops away into the night
