​ 
                                                                                                Way out,
with a warm star rising
with a gust in the grain
with not a whisper of worry in the wind
 
just time: passing with white
                       
                                                            line
 
                                                            line
 
                                                            line
 
for a brief moment
I forgot

Jacob Troia is a poet and an undergraduate student of American Literature at the University of Illinois at Chicago and is a recipient of the Liberal Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Research Initiative there for his manuscript, Quindecims. His work often seeks to echo the natural themes of the Romantic Era while also grappling with the friction of modern society.
