haunted habitual



haunted
habitual 
con-text-ual 
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.
