Kate Colby
NIGHT VISION
- Shadows are ideas
- of what casts them;
- the moon is there
- to match, but only
- on one side. Stars
- pick through leaves,
- a tree-shaped black
- space swallows itself.
- If I could disgorge
- my heart like a star-
- fish its stomach
- I’d draw you in,
- but I only have this head
- and how I love you
- looks more like me than I do.
