            in absentia
            Matthew Friauf

            that habitué moon waiting

            for the lake to still

            clings
            to earth

            and bird




            that loon speaks

            to midnight’s tenants

            as we walked on the lake

            planks extended
            beneath our feet

            separated us from the water





            leaves and so much fall

            ripple water




            and footsteps don’t roll


            like empty bottles

            on the dock




            lunar seas

            would trouble like this
