Over and Over
the dreamghost
repeated motions endlessly
tasks never completed
and I am
too much and not enough
right about not quite
while others gossip
at a table
the wages of labor
the weight of our lives
headstones bearing histories
as cars on the west end pass
stories told between calls
services required
a drunken cry at midnight
mistaken as love
a long drive
over a narrow road
shimmering lakes
and a call of the woods
a poem under cover seeks
the light of expression
