cxlvii

because if it is simply for myself
why would anybody else want it
two pigeons dancing on a rooftop
anything to get to me like last night’s water
drip drip out of a Sunday depression a drip drip

this morning I can’t sleepwalk the Emerald Necklace
get up watch tv read a few pages
(two old sots reacquainting themselves)
stare at the ceiling

I found the rose garden from Switzerland
how to get it back

a pleasant trip back into bed
10:30 ball up into a loose fist left hand
press lightly against the top of his hip
fall asleep
