Study in Black
Grief-eyedark as the world's mirror
fastened in a parcel of bones and velvet.
Yesterday
the air was winged
and the field shuffled its grasses in the wind.
Hooves tore up the shadows
until the light became a voice.
Today
everything is a zoomed-in stillness
where all life is black-rooted/
black-bloomed
as one glossy sorrow.
