how did you survive the frost/ knowing the book would close
carried along by a lambent happiness, i ran from campus through the sculpture garden and on to the state park. there was slanting late-afternoon sunlight and passionflower and kudzu and a riot of feral roses. later, i played pale saints and made tortilla soup in a darkened kitchen. i've got little to show for the past ten years besides a lack of things. time bled out through the damaged parts, leaving me older in your absence.
* * * reading: hav, by jan morris. listening to: throwing back the apple, pale saints. working on: a little math puzzle. in the garden: i am waiting to see if the hurricane lilies make a show.
