A necessary guesswork

out of the many

and into the few

seldom if any

escape to the blue

the moon is a vagrant

and often is hidden

it is a force

not to be bidden

the clouds of a lifetime

are vague and obscure

except to the ego

where thoughts are all [ure

the dark of the evening

is only a hint

of a time in the past

and where it all went
