Transport me and quarantineThis feeling that is seldom sceneI’m curious and fevers peakedDelirious with this mystiqueSoaked in a blanket’s warmEmber glowFreer now than I’ve ever knowI dance the fire with a crazy glazeAnd juxtapose to coin this hazeWolftrap and FirefliesWhat does it mean?Oh, the image sticks like glue to meIs this to make some senseSome eveningQuiet with a candle. Cheat to bring them nearOh, silent, I the hunter, til the answers clearI tried hard to peg this feelThe catch proved much too big to reelYou blink, you miss and bliss is deadPlaying spotlight with my headPop up unannounced, take aimSnap the traps (and start again)Quill-dip and adjustaproseSnap-shot record what image glowsI know their eyes follow meTrack my prints, encircle meTaste. Touch. Smell. Sight. SoundEyes look up, ears to the groundSoaked in a blanket’s warm ebb and flowFreer now? I just don’t knowSlate-gray sky meets musty greenCan you smell the mossy world machine?Cunning and captured…free and endangered
