Muffled Walks in Solitude

I long for midwinter days
Muffled walks in solitude
Golden leaves uncovered –
Ravens flying low

Days of trepidation in the 
Land of shame and 
Long shadows, 
Sinful pleasures abound 

I long for the ultimate caw 
I carry the silver spoon
Awaiting her final call –
Descending 

Days of fey nagging
Eyes untouching 
Paws pouncing 

... Death
