shasta daisy

sadness draped over his face,
he comes to his knees,
arms stretched to the copper skies,
anger in his stomach.

his ivory eyes
cracked with age
looked for a word he had been told was written
up on high.

as the quest retreats from his body,
his eyes shut
slowly
to visions of what
he would have to carry.
