No one knows exactly
How Anne disappeared
Almost from Earth
Under the smoky, reddening sky
To be near the date of birth.
Consider one as wild
As the dappled little horse
Where the salt grasses
Ride together in loneliness.
During the years before,
Anne promised to return
Forever in the magical ritual
Of the Northern Woods.
I’ve waited many years
Watching stars above the sea
Beside the piers where wavelets lap
Anne came riding up to me.
