Rolling
Gray purple
Waters
Revelatory.

Anonymous
Dry leaves
Blow

Across
Cracked
Sidewalks.

An open
Window
I shoulder

Past.

Dancing glances
Of animated
Strangers.

My sleep is
Undone

By paradox,

And then
I quickly
Fall back

Asleep.

Whispered
Voices

In a stark
White and blue

Corridor.

The wind
Stays awake
All night.

Rorschach
Lakes.

A tree
Steps back.

The lonely
River

Stops.
