Sol[I]t[U]de
The crisp, cool night
looms large,
in
solitary solidarity.
Crackling wisp
&
crickets…
Possum across fence
lingers,
casts a glance
askance.
Shadow in shape
of
human
or
numen.
Bat wings break
the
shapelessness
of
air.
This
is
the
vigil
of the
solitary
individual.

Author's Note
I had an idea for a write about a barn & that triggered this? But I think there is something cool about going far afield of the initial inspiration.

This reminds me of when I lived in Ohio as a kid and the sights and sounds twilight would bring....
A sense of peace, permeates.

This pic reminds me of a place I was always safe. That I would go to whenever I felt like falling off a map.

I'll sit with you from my own solitude. Like being able to see some of what you saw. Thank you.
