“AS IF INHALING THE WHOLE WORLD”

“AS IF INHALING THE WHOLE WORLD”

stone tongued, skip the
ochre sunset, colors off
peeled billboards bare of
spraypaint, signifying no—
thing—some other other
shadowing, asphalt skinned,
soon joined, packed, three
abreast, streetlights shuddering
and struggling to vomit up
a semblance of illumination,
one by one dumb mouths open

and each sings his choking song...
