` <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Belying this despised state <br /> <br />you hunch upon shuffling feet, <br /> <br />pondering the crunch of browned leaves. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Burrowing this dusty soil <br /> <br />you hide beneath scurrying paws, <br /> <br />forgetting the crash of billowy waves. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Blowing out raspy breath <br /> <br />you pucker withered lips; <br /> <br />release cotton-downed doves. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Bellowing against the horizon <br /> <br />you herd the flock from grazing; <br /> <br />shackled gates embrace nightfall. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />`<br /><br />Frederick Kesner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wings-unfurl-in-the-dark/
