habitual

a mississippian Faulknerian odyssey 

Addie.

last night 

while live cameras rolled 

outside our windows,

blue lights pour’d

each angle 

giving

a different story

Addie.

i found it hard to bare

i find it hard not to stare 

further down than scared

this 

yellow morn

the birds sang

the cars passed 

beside

that mintly 

scrubbed concrete

Addie.

this

crescent moon

stars pinned ever

higher

somethings are yet to be seen

          (Yoknapatawpha county)

so far away

as i lay

Addie.

may loyalty stay on its knees

autumn’s fall

breaths summer’s last

one 

enters exits

one gate

does a vibrant leaf

know the seasons

does a child 

know the reasons

thy gate has no lock 

but does 

know the time

hands give and receive

may loyalty stay on its knees
