Under that hat a late solemn mind cooking.
Taking them in. It seems from a glance,
an expression, shifting hands,
that they wish to eat the world whole.

in no way helping with answers
and his fear finding only

to sit in a chair and hear out
a worn-down sheriff yet to step up
and give answers
that draw in a dark
and edge the boys dreams
afterwards.
