haunts

by Carissa Dewey

there is a sort of loneliness
here
it’s a lower place
something I can barely
fit here
and outside that empty
tree dripping bark

in bed- I watch it.

Definitely haunting, and something I can relate to in my own way, being a regular bird of the wee hours.

"and outside that empty tree dripping bark" - I like all of this, but especially these lines. Definitely a lonely place "here" and even when you look outside, there is no relief.
