silver along an
aluminum edge, spandrel days
limp
between seasons edged in
purpled amber.

face to the sky,
rolling blind down
white rivers.

left behind but still
remembered,
filter for melancholia,
stories told between
pillow and dreams.

salience and
rarefication.

starlight above clouds.

rolling blind towards a
luminous noise,
river drain, cascade
rumble.

i sense the space around
your emptiness,
silver edged in air.

ghosts unlimber as these
weeks line up and
break
against the rocks of
phantoms.
