As Moonlight Bleeds
May 10, 2:44 a.m.
The moon hangs heavy,
a bruised peach torn against the void—
I catch its falling juice in poems
and taste the night, copper-sweet.
Poetry, prose, and moments captured after dark.
The moon hangs heavy,
a bruised peach torn against the void—
I catch its falling juice in poems
and taste the night, copper-sweet.
There are hours when even the rafters breathe. A log shifts in the firebox and the spark speaks a syllable I almost understand.
He kept gears where others kept memories. Each tick was a confession he was too careful to speak aloud.
A lone bulb buzzes like a tired wasp, spilling sodium light onto wet asphalt. I'm the only pedestrian.
