a carton of midnight air

the midnight air
i swallow
from my bedroom
window
tastes like milk and
drowsy petrichor
from half-remembered
things

echoes in the courtyard
plates and dishes clink
in warm water

someone drops a bottle into
the glass bin

ghost-thunder of
an airplane

i gulp the
milky midnight air
and shut the window

the room seems very quite now
