Writing to night #4
Toby Chen '25
Around the Ides of October 2024

i searched for the train’s scream rippling
across the meadows candid chairs live
in pebbles sprinkling on your back
icy relics quiet as a dragonfly says
my palm ran out of lines
long enough to support
a life yet I still wish to fill
them with drooping
moonlight dug out rooms of sand
for me and welcome mollusks
i love you with a heart too
light to hold itself
