The Convalescent: Howl

hungry moon
heavy in the sky,
the heat of the day evaporates from the sidewalk
in radiating waves
beneath my feet...

restless ghosts
moving,
their vague shapes changing
until they resemble the better parts of me,
indefinite
soft around the edges,
I am come undone by the things they need of me,
subjugate and prone by the light of the moon...

I can only howl.
