thingummy & graffiti
stuttering, remembering
what I wanted to say—
daytime eclipse, a moon
wearing orange eyeliner.
You were flowing over
once, abundantly filling
up my lungs but then I
let it go— some inspired
adolescent sprays graffiti
on a testimonious wall…
no longer silent nor
oppressed by the grey.
