In Middle Distance

Mark Jackley

dusk

I blinked

a mailbox

revealed itself

as you—

hunched

in your

last hours,

a kind of

iron stillness,

dark inside, lit

by a few

good words

 

 

Mark Jackley lives in northwestern Virginia. Last year, Main Street Rag released his book of poems Many Suns Will Rise. His poems have appeared in Fifth Wednesday, Natural Bridge, and other journals.
