Articulate Sunlight (no. 127) - Eliot Cardinaux

  Articulate Sunlight (no. 127)


Fields you could see
a wolf  running across.
In the articulate sunlight,

a meandering crowd,
ceaselessly searching for the one
whose note will never sound.

Old men playing chess,
send the pieces flying,
a raucous laughter filling up the emptiness of dawn.

I always look through the mirror.
Something happens for me to hold on to
in the distance, past my gaze;

I came home, carrying the news of that road:
Ahead of us, nowhere.
Somewhere behind, I see us crouching.
