The Passing

John T. Hitchner

A path beckons.
A cabin stands shuttered, blind;
its steps sand-scabbed,
its door wood pocked skin.
No.

And the path leads through rising fog
into an evergreen grove,
where branches hang like hairy black bones,
and the moon pales a blurred crescent.
No.

And the path winds to a road—
an empty companion;
a slow snake that drinks the dark.

I follow, thirsty stickman hearing no music,
writing no songs,
tracking down prayerless distance.
