reading Deleuze,
which is (presumably) to say
reading Joe Hughes
reading Joe Hughes
reading Joe Hughes,
I’m suddenly overcome
by the urge
to draw a bigger
circle
and keep reading
until my reading is read
and these words
not erased but
buried beneath
a palimpsest
for the ghost
in the text.

Scott F. Parker’s most recent book, A Way Home (Kelson), explores time, home, & selfhood in a series of personal essays.
