Peculiarity

The loop closes now,

all pocket watches shatter.

Time ensnares their bones.

The money pit

there’s a hole in the ceiling to display the stars

it matches the pane-less windows

and the vacant stairs

the bare pipes of the sink

and the door without a handle or lock

which leads out into day and night

and leads in

to home.

A List of Things I Saw Today

1. Lightning webs across the night.
2. Pale roots from a pot bound plant.
3. Cactus spines used as game counters.
4. Flaking paint in a newly decorated house.
5. Stick figures animated with silly walks.
6. Paint. Paint. Paint.
7. Eyelids held fast to my eyes, sleep calling at every turn.
