The Evening

i look to the evening,
hopeful,
knowing i will find nothing there,
but hopeful none the less.

i look to Neruda for words
and find them,
but every word is ancient
and i sink deeper
and my mouth narrows
and my brow narrows

and i know there will be no peace
until the words come ...

... if the words come.
