awake in smudge city / the lights on river reflect
only we do not know / we are the reflection

position report
here moon here
here water here
here currents here
here fire here
here heart here
here
the time is 2:22 am on the 22nd day
the hour of black water have passed
the young possum delivered its message
there’s an echo of gunfire that goes unanswered: this,
what passes for serenity on the 2nd Street Bridge
a brief respite from traffic and all its ambitions
I count Greyhound busses on I-65
listen for the distant sound of train whistles
the water under the wharf knocks hollow beneath my work boots
