Ringing In The Emptiness

For if the world

is a bell

ringing

in the emptiness

of a letter.

Words

Are the

rinds of

otherworldly fruit

swollen

in my throat.

Then what

creature, sprite

or, phantom?

rings the doorbell

and is gone.

when i come

to scribble

the crumbs

of poems

upon an

empty porch

drinking moonlight.
