The gloom


The gloom
Husk fallow
And wind shucked
Spinning on
Frozen silk
Gathers around it
A rattle
Gold worthless
Even mold spot
Arrested

Low hung
The stars
Are tripped
Premature
Shorting
Their cheer

A cold morning
Late to wake
Sleeps restive
And shallow
Racing its breath
On glass
Polished silver

Puddles expand
Breaking roads
Into oceans
Deep riven fires
The gloom dimly
Piercing
