Sleeping

author
Rory McGinlay

The foal is hunted by the wolves.
   The snake in the wood is by

   The lake where remains lay of the 

Dead baby horse.

Silence moves to the sound of 

   Cicadas and mosquitos seek the 

   Blood of an oncoming evening.

The man in the house is building a fire.

   A naked woman is sleeping.
