killingsworth st octet

pavements’ fragmented black mirror casting back
street signs’ geometry these tree limbs’ Rorschach—

sidewalk tables glazed with red leaves & drizzle;

Asian market’s clapboards & bent tin chimney—

black tupelo’s upsweep into liquid air
where flocked crows inscribe your name in black & white—

train cascades past the stop’s corrugated roof:
as afternoon falls I’ve been turned inside out
