Hunting Season

 

 

I went hunting for a heart

wrote about problems

always the reflection

a stark naked hurting

for the long things in life.

 

I went hunting for a moral

in a crowd of smothered stars

knowing it takes time

to surrender misgivings.

 

I went hunting for a reason

discovered sentences lying in green pastures

late at night blanketed by darkness

like a squirrel splayed by the road

I expose another breakdown.

 

I went hunting for a promise

climbed stairwells and ladders

searched for language not yet spoken

on a brilliant slivered afternoon

witnessed the death of conversation.

 

I went hunting for an answer

always crouched over my problems

like a private detective magnifying the issues

make the meaning of obscurity even smaller.

 

I went hunting for acceptance.

I am not alone.
