came the feeling
of time...
an ant, an octopus, a coyote, an elephant,
and me,
all staring up, searching.
embarrass us with light
and leaves,
then leave us for another night.
give us all fangs or tentacles
and demonstrate what love can be
when it is real or death.
I don't even know how to walk away
the sun will have to rip this life away from me.
