Mark J. Mitchell

Night Music

My sleepless neighbor
Paces while I count his steps.
Sky is washed by mist.
A siren sets off a dog.
Brakes scream, horns bleat. I'm waiting
For damp notes from a foghorn.

Shunyata

Rinsing
A water bottle:
Play
Of air and light,
Clarity on
Clarity.
Practice
Of the needless

Infernetto

The motion is steady, constant.
You move always to the left and down.
You know about the hole in the center.
You know about the reeking fumes.
You know about the endless wails.
Still, this attenuate and sinister path
Is the only path allowed, left and down.
There's just one way in. Just one way out.
Just one fearsome trail to the stars.
