I'm going to go down as ambiguous
When I do go down

Please look not on my sins
When Love Comes to Town
Shadows of tomorrow,
reflections of yesterday

Images of the moment
—in whose Trinity we pray

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1990)
Working things out in my head when the bed looks more inviting and the windows are letting the light in and I'm working things out in my head, exercising mentally to keep my mental faculties on top form.

it's a bit like long division when you're sitting on a logarithm and algebra drops in for tea and a chat about this and his cat and my mind wanders off into the wilderness.

The weather doesn't help me to find that place, tranquility is just a sea up on a moon upon a long time ago.

threads
not only obsessions
weaving, weaving, weaving

allusions
Eliot reflections
thieving, thieving. thieving

O you future people!
What will you stop and see?

Please judge tenderly
me, thee, and Emily!

tranquil
they buried a poet
sprinkled his words over coffin
tossed a book into dirt alongside
and waited few decades
to have a leaf sprout
for winds to carry his lines
far
to one with open ears
another circle in a world of squares
have phrases strain down the cheeks
into ink smeared on paper


buried in a trashcan
in a diary
in a library
in dirt
everywhere really...
circles

I will spread dirt into every crevice of my broken heart and plant flowers so big and beautiful, that their roots will mend all the shattered pieces back together, and you’ll never be able to see the mess I used to be.
