The Red of Night

“The Red of Night”

The longest hours of the day
are those that aren’t spent waiting.
Fair is not a form but rather
augments in abatement.

“Caused”- the explanation of
a movement in the willows
across the fated sky ringing
lashes from a gallows.

three stars twicker like the moths
in cotton thickets

standing tall was always a thought
for daydream pavement but not a single
whisper made its way into the blue
