Dreams Steal Away
Everything tended
to darken around her
The light from the sun
all feelings deferred
Her winter foreboding
sucks air from the room
Constant denials
predictions of doom
Pawning tomorrow
the price of today
Happiness bartered
her dreams steal away
Everything tended
to darken around her
Shadows awaiting
—the future interred
(The New Room: July, 2023)
