yesterday in thief

 yesterday in thief


there is a boy in this here head of words

stubborn he will as not say yesterday 

until the old songs drink tears 

he runs form shadow to shadow

glinting now and then in a laugh

that howls upon a full moon’s years

to chase him is to lose him 

to turn away a keepsake 

sleep again half-awake

for the dogs of the war run loose 

and time will bring to heal

all of yesterday in thief
