antlers come and go
hours hopeful seeing nothing
empty-had but lost

sickened failure haunts
robbing the red ritual
of culmination

This hits me in a mournful way
like wisps of memories dashed
relationships splattered
especially that line "empty-had but lost"

P.S. Thanks for telling me you remember my poetry name from years back, because this site of yours seemed so familiar. I also used to visit Jason's site and will again.
