I found myself stuttering yesterday... clumsily tripping, fumbling, over words. The explanation of my whereabouts - in question. Like a guilty child. Awareness then anger emerge. irritated, indignant hostility. That I would allow this again - over and over and over again… Trying to account for every moment beneath suspicious eyes. Groundless guilt rising up, as I choke, words broke and unspoke - while the little voice in my head screams "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!"

I found some more dirt in the corner yesterday.
Thorns tickle my throat Come The cranes that feed their Children;           My son’s already inventing. The night’s my only staple Come The stars that sing for Others;           I list in endless insomnia. Slowly glowed the river Come The golden sorts of Dreams;           I leave them for my progeny           And surrender to what I’d sworn.
