After so much is said and the candles are low…Listen to the audio version.
I'm no match for the godless nights
A BRIEF ESSAY ON ROMANTICISMListen to the audio version.p>All morning the restlessness of happening,Greedy seconds, opera minutes Until I want to beg the wind for a home. We live in some nameless state Falling continuously, falling Illuminated and fitful. Late winter, the earth Smelling of mother darknesses And I've no means to share this news Save under the canopy of a poem Where I'm writing very small. Somewhere I think I might be burning.
