In the tail of a tale.

In the tail of a tale.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

He who sees no end
to his sentence
will be the maker
of his dreams
as he wanders nightly
in the detours of the macabre
as a ghostly reminder.
The vision that comes
from a full-stop lost,
pauses momentarily
on passing.
What of the verb
that followed the noun
when the subject died
carried in the breeze -
an action now floating
in browns and golds
of autumn falling -
the noun rustles.
Looking up at the moon
in body no longer
a night time soul in the sky
salutes in a twinkling of a star.
