Poetry day 3



3

Nighttime grid defines this manhunt,
a heavy splatter on the concrete.
How the heavens stir!
Like being licked, little pot roast?
Are you still up, lambchop?
Wrap your hands around this
soft, raw fruit of our wet city.
Stacks of light follow both directions,
unbound, a more expressive
horizon.
