"Cries," "Sequence," and "There Is"

Cries

cries before the
night arrives before
the shadows hide
beneath its shade
cries until her
words are heard
like sad excuses
the distance beckoning
until her voice
is lost forever

Sequence

the trail of blood, etc.
the words spoken in haste
without an understanding
each man given a sequence
that must be followed
until the meaning 
becomes obvious
and the light is found

There Is

there is
or we are
told there is
 
what matters
is what
we remember
 
the distance only
an aspect
of the past
