You open your eyes to the calendar

Waving its flippant leaves at you

To get you out of your slumber

So you can start anew

You haven't penned a word since late June

You say you've got nothing

You're cured of every wounded piece that made you

Yet your eyes still search the ceiling

As your brain exercises fivefold,

lights my eye and guides my thought,

a spark in a second, a buzzing phone.

I throw out dust and paper, reels of film

sun-baked, reeling, cracked,

replace with seconds from the fountain,

hiding ...
