Wilderness.
Half past seven here in the evening,
Could be past eight. I wouldn’t know.
Sedentary under a crescent moon,
Following from above my bus.
Through vast wilderness as we move
I reach closer listening to the mountains words.
The fading life to the facing light perishing
Faster in the window than I could grasp.
So I ground my anxious feet and place my heart around the battle.
I still have several nights to waste;
Before I deliver the message to the bears.
I’m a passenger stuck between these haunting miles,
When I had time. I wasted raiding honeybees.
But I still have several nights to rest, before I convey the message to the bears.
