Ink After Midnight
— Luke R.

Literary Fragments

Poetry, prose, and moments captured after dark.

As Moonlight Bleeds

May 10, 2:44 a.m.

a bruised peach torn against the void—

and taste the night, copper-sweet.

Cabin Silence

Feb 14, 1:07 a.m.

There are hours when even the rafters breathe. A log shifts in the firebox and the spark speaks a syllable I almost understand.

The Clockmaker's Heart

Apr 27, 3:12 a.m.

Streetlight Confession

Mar 5, 12:38 a.m.

A lone bulb buzzes like a tired wasp, spilling sodium light onto wet asphalt. I'm the only pedestrian.
