Day 132, 2023

[No, not ghosts, per say…]

out of 3 AM wharf shadows
the haunted wander, then return
taking the form of scrub trees
by the exit ramp.

Day 111, 2023

the witching hour is 4 am
currents winding round the abstract hours
marked by uninvented clocks

says to self, self this is an apology
for mistaking ye as human
in the sense of that abuse called time

Day 73, 2023

what then
on this crisp night

what turns the stars
they make

unshakable
in the wake of tugs

of jake break echoes
on the interstate
