Literature Text

Shortened dim days and long starless nights
The wellspring, the windchimes, the starlings
Are gone
Dreary tunes about razorblades, and ash, and bone
The lost man's song, the October sonata
The walkingman shoeheels clack empty sidewalks
Past blank storefronts and soapsmeared windows.
Summer is a distant fire, muted by mist, fog,
Coldbreath
Hollow days are here again.
Got the four AM blues again, deadworld, whitenoise, mind restless but uninspired. Should I take a pill, go back to sleep? Wasting time, wasting life, and I don't have that much left to waste. Where is all the energy and inspiration? Where are you? Why am I? I need beer. I need you. I need a life. Handwringing, headscratching, dead as the dull night. I try to write something but all I can write is you, and me, and how I miss you. I had ugly dreams last night.

I so feel for you...thinking of my own life and... luck! Could be gone in an instant. Your poetry really touches my soul...and that is what really great poems should do. Thank you! Out of your pain comes genius.
