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.
