Menthol

Companionless

—time cool

on the skin

evaporating,


Blackbirds

—sky river

of going

between hills,


Illusions

dreamed in

another age,

a chill in the heart,


Fly down

to join me

in the isolate woods,

a falling through leaves,


This pull

in the chest

an awakening,

blood in the lungs.
