alternate timeline the paper boy hands out haiku

the first light stutters barely breaking through the grey

starry eyed lovers in the grove of warm limbs

the floodgates of night are open i dare not breathe

dreams pouding at the gates while we fumble with the locks

the autumn dark deepens and the night grows manifold

frail minds rejoin the essence of night’s choir

dreams of grey coasts and whispers caught in unfurled sails

late autumn the blunt force trauma of light rays
