EXCERPT:

zoetrope

you wonder at the wonder
on a bridge without volume
of a train on a bridge and
the day that you’re facing
in the second that you feel it
through a crack near your neck
in a train full with pressure
on a bridge lacking volume
it’s clean air that’s been missing
from the train on its way
while a sign on a wall
let’s you know that you’re dropping
through a tunnel under order
there’s a clip of the rhythm
as the train hits the dark
near a street named by numbers
and this light that you left
on the bridge without volume
is the light that you’ll live for

through the want of a window
