A step closerA Poem by Angela Talbert
A step closer
I suppose
no one knows
where to find you.
I suppose their calling off the search.
I dropped my torch and left them,
dropped it in the sand.
They’ve lost their recompense,
failed the orders of a man.
I suppose
no one knows
where you are now.
I suppose they only call your name.
I move on with night vision,
they move on in vain.
Each footstep into yours
a step closer I remain.
I suppose
no one knows
where to find us.
I suppose their calling off the search.
