Hollow Moon Rises

The hollow moon rises, reclaims its place
in the pantheon...it is my duty to walk
solitary, alone with this tangle of thoughts,
and I say: so be it. The memories of love
give some comfort, but they were little more
than dreams all along. I will not be hampered
by unfinished yearnings or bow to the howling of wolves.
This is earth. Is some part of me unfulfilled?
Of course. But at least I am not in chains.
