Midnight

written at night

a bent silence

            unattended the changes

            subtle through the hours

a white-horse star astray

            blocks of darkness

            that fall badly

a town at sea beyond a

            halo over roofs

            the night sky, holed cloth

ghosts that shuffle as a motor

            bees down a river-road

            full of coal,the air empty.

Eerie and evocative imagery here. As always your style is so unusual and unique, I particularly like the images of the town at sea and the river road.

I tried to related my few midnight experiences with your poems. Our feelings look to be crossing each other in many places. Thank you for sharing the poem.
