Evening & the hounds circle

The weary crew wearing lamped hardhats
unrolls their map like a scroll as their undaunted captain

assures We’ll be done by nightfall…

Slim as a matchstick one
seeker is lowered into a fault as the villagers gather

The old photographer steadies his camera & the whispers
grow frantic

Two tugs are felt on the gold
en rope coming from below followed by the heave-ho

of the hundred muscled arms
They lift the hero into the night her luminous lithe body

draped over his wrist

like moonlight
