He walks through
the gray shadows of dusk,
shadows not dark enough
for sightlessness
nor clear enough for recognition,
yet he construes,
upon the hazy horizon
of delineated mountain peaks,
the outline of a human form oscillating,
a form unfamiliar
in a dimension unknown
where light slashes invading clouds
to bits of confetti
then spreads like a veil
upon the indistinguishable terrain
in a place beyond
which comes, as it has before,
to those who will eventually travel,
a place, at times, that is reflected
in our dreams
where anguish vanishes,
where the living cannot visit.
