Ugh. I should have known.
It has been heaving itself upon me all day...

Purple was there first
in the thudding darkness...

It's my birthday
I'm in my bathtub...

Tonight, while my children sleep,
I'll walk out of the house...

I write things,
things that...

On-ly-clocks-work-
Jul-ians-Dan-iels-Jims-and-Petes-work...

For some, it starts with tea.
Tea slows you. You wait...

If I were to swing high above you,
black hair flying...

If I were to
mint the minutes...

I was once made mute
By the question...

Said tree to its shade:
You pester me with your drifts...

I was writing a poem
about a congregation leaving church...
