Dark Descending

By Bradley McIlwain

Harvest:
a crow cries at my back
her beak dipped in ink

and mystery
scavenging the remains of a dream

Trees beckon
their branches grab at my sleeves, 
break skin

a trail of blood:
do I follow?

Darkness descends
I shine a light:

dance of dense thickets, 
dead leaves 
crunch under my soles

Towards the South, the slope of an old farmhouse:
the barn door opened,
shivering like a secret
