Waking
there’s a noise outside the door
something in the trash can
it can come back but
won’t it go away?
All this trouble just
to drink beer
once more,
again.

I could say so much about the yellow window
eating so much daylight
it will never grow
from all that gold
nothing but the Sun
ever appears
anymore.

Fasting and the dictionary
the kitchen counter
two couches I don’t own
I don’t watch television anymore
There are so many episodes
there’s too much to read.
—-
I have such a small brain
still surviving on the
radio hums
the inner heat
not enough to really answer anything
but the soul is
as heavy as all the hours.
