THE VIGIL

After Fear 

takes its seat

with the others 

around the circle 

to hold vigil

you follow Crow 

down the dark hole.

You don’t know 

where you are 

going, how long 

it will take 

to get there

or what you will find  

once you arrive.

What you can be

sure of is: everything

is about to change.

You, most of all.
