To A Miss

I, dancing in my own bitter disgrace,
Washed and hung out and my mind unaligned,
And with my memory I did erase.

Unable to maintain a fitful pace,
Body and soul so utterly resigned,
I, dancing in my own disgrace.

The sun sets, rises dark,

A soft wind caresses.

A dog howls in the park,

The lone sound progresses.

Fear of what the pitch dark brings,

Owls resting, now end of night,

As we unfold our plumed wings,

And journey into the light.
