a kaleidoscope of disposable vape stickers on the convenience store bin
they all at once
by headlamp blind
reflective
perspective
now back to back streets
cuckoo lane
and four pairs of eyes
reporting back
first from path
and then from place of
passing by
i ask of those penumbral wardens
shaded in their passing place
who thrive where urban nature blur -
and are these still
the hills of sand
next to quick eroding chalk?
and all at once i find
reflexive
every time it shifts
every time it shifts the ground
ever slightly shifting down
reflexive
at the backs of town
