Verse: Orion

you say
'tomorrow'
like it is
sacrosanct
a given

you, solicitous
do ally yourself
with countless many
bodies who
capsized
in sleep
are abject
quiescent
and do ossify

given to turbid
dreams
while I fulminate
but dreams are
just that

like a star
yoked to
a crescent moon
in the early
morning hours
they are nothing
without you
nor am I

but I
will be up
all night
learning how
to hunt
and my aim
will be true
