Once

Once
I had nothing but you in my eyes.
It was then that you filled my eyes.
And I would sit at the edge of the field like a fox.
and amazed I would watch
As bees wicked the spring's nectar from the flowers.

It was then that I would sit amazed.
Amidst more than I could have created alone,
There amidst that witch we had created together
And there amazed
I would give thanks.

Now in winter with the bees I remain.
You and I together
Have ravaged all of the summer's stores.
Now alone I return home
The fox
to a wreath of moldered bones
and an empty larder.
