"everything extraneous has burned away
this is how burning feels in the fall
of the final year not like leaves in a blue
October but as if the skin were a paper lantern
full of trapped moths beating their fired wings..." -Paul Monette


you
i mistook

 

for a brusque chicago
afternoon


for
unyielding grey


i remedied the

moment i heard
you. the rustle

of


pregnant pause

 


shifting blankets

 


stars


The author's comments:

inspired by the rough chicago nights, especially by the terrible terrible wind, and the way the skies seem so desolately moody. and then the way everythin changes when you realize the way everything hums as the lights on the buildings glow against the grey background, the city a gathering of stars.
