Under the Walnut Tree

    When I face what has left my life,
    I bow. I walk outside into the cold,
    rain nesting in my hair.
    All the houses near me
    have their lights on. Somewhere,
    there is a deep listening.
    I stand in the dark for a long time
    under the walnut tree, unable
    to tell anyone, not even the night,
    what I know. I feel the darkness
    rush towards me, and I open my arms.
