relationship

only in the mountain evening
can you feel
what’s slowly closing in
what’s slowly edging away
a few strange coos and caws
appear as strangely as they fade
if you’re sleeping
then you’re a part of it all
if you awake
you hear and think
and you know what you’re dealing with
like maybe you’re real small, and it’s huge
