Strangers Safe at Seven Feet

Seven feet is far enough to fall,
and all the sounds that might mesh
to make the air between
the ground and its prey,
in accordance to a call
do not care for a stranger,
and so they do not intervene.

And green becomes blackened
with space and time and
existence of a stance lost,
in occupation,
for example:

An October spent together,
then alone...
And somewhere inside that line there does not lie yet,
and there does not lie ever...

The realization that the grass is coming clearer.



Alfred Joseph Derro IV
