Atari

Philip Daniel Cook

I walk this Atari 

in the white chambers

of my heart.

 

My atlas is lost.

The compass of

ships that pass,

in the shadow

dress of this waking world.

Can we see eye to eye

without taking out the other out?

The stars that turn in the sink of

this ghostly shadow in my life.
