poetry

at the sharp end of the day,
the month, waiting

for a return, a word,
a small fly traces

a halo for my head,
the open window drawing

no breeze, heat
settles heavily,

I wave it away
absentmindedly,

small ripples
around a fixed point,

barely any light left
now, the first stars,

always up there,
it’s just that night

removes that doubt,
and instills others
