POETRY
Thoughts in October
Christine Mallon
I am outside taking up space
expanding like light
into all the places day rests—
in between power lines
lightly on the weeds
of the growing field
I remember the subway
crossing knees to fit
the tight wedge
of neighboring legs
the allotted, dainty slice
of air and nobody
knows how outward I’ll get
Christine Mallon is a poet from New Jersey who works in higher education.
