And when the darkness looms
we wander on our way
deep into the forest
and from the path we stray.
A lonely way to go?
I'm not sure I agree.
No lonelier than a bed
far from the nearest tree.
Not blocked from the agents
of Death or of Decay -
perhaps, we feel the Web
more than the fear of prey
as we stagger that last mile.
