Monthly Verse

echo

                aftermath comes to
                light that way.

                before the startling
                                of an overheard

                bubble

 

                or fission-haired
                wildflower

                gives out entirely

you talk in your sleep .          the elevator doesn’t

hold together

 

between who we were there is an

invisible girl.
