So many wild ones gone.
The chairs filled with their light
recede and fade.
The darkness under time
has taken them far
now.

Oh to be in their midst
for another hour.
To withstand them once
was not enough--it never is.

Only to hear them howl
and subside,
rage and slumber,
only to live in the labyrinth
of all their breathing
for a second more.
