Beside
other sleep

tally
pale blue crescents
harsh against the landscape
phases of the moon
in vicious scythed repeat

fit
dueled identities
assertion of damaged interest
points of ordered chaos
spoilage’s assent

consider

erase
the situation
rest the world

Outside
amidst slivered moonlight
the trees stand huddled at the white picket fence
contained
because
they will not fall
