one day I'll leave you, a phantom

Sedgwick, Maine, the last time I slept in the house I grew up in, Fall 2019. Arista ULTRA / Nikkormat.

from the humble ramparts

striding cracking across the white cellophane

ice atop the mud, dead leaves dusted, late snow

just trees, jumbled and mismatched

mossy stumps to mark the tall ghosts

the gloom, the morning, the afterward darkness of

the rain

among vague constellations of stone, cairns

to hold the corners, inscrutable

one thousand sagas sung at sunrise, junco

songs and pileated hyena hymns in the cold

lacing the understory, the stone walls

time-tossed and doomed to be forgotten

I walked through my own plume of white breath

weaving into this invertebrate

forest, to haunt it

for a few moments of my own.
