can still sleep, isn't

eating fragments. The flannel stuff
of local waitfulness

worn in. I am home where
my mole warms. Tinderbox,

pillows of unconcern, hi Mom. And now

appointments: you and yours. Your skull
I bunk with, on the watch. Mock up my day

anything towards my face, where

your book. I am
chain-smoking. There is razor

wire it is out there what
to be done. The what hum. Our pet
