‘Coda’ by Mícheál McCann

for Andrew Cunning

Looking down
absently into
a train table
like it’ll tell me –
a phone’s black mirror
lets downcast eyes
see sheep-gutty clouds
in an August sky
in the glass
of a locked phone.
Turning upward
to the real thing
my eyes
are lit.

From issue #8: spring/summer 2019
