Night Voice

Wednesday, January 15, 2020

the ceiling closes.
tightening circle—

ice forming on a pond.
once it can be walked      day breaks

material—
objects seem to have fallen

as if out of the sky.
weakened by the night face

up.
shot

talking to no one in particular
a target reads back

its bullet in   out
of the closed hole.
