Becoming Myself

A ghost truth 
levels down,
the traffic. You enter
into catatonic stage.

Rage and anguish
will ask,
for the price of blood
flown down the river.

Listening
with the eyes. Leaffall,
luteus, music of descent
on grass.

A dust storm 
settles on sill. I will 
look through the window, at
a setting sun, unadored.
