2025, Autumn, Ohio River Valley Literature, poetry

map annotations now void

this gray city: all I have left
an outdated  memory map

there are no ghosts to greet me
ask where I’ve been
all the old trailmarkers erased
by wind and rain and time

my own ghost shriveled up and dead
somewhere on Main Street
and on the memory map a note:

here be dragons

Standard
