Still here, but things have changed . (Deleted Scenes #3)
——–/sky part blue, part spitting rain. on it’s way from sea to sea . autumn broadcast everywhere & yes,& still, & thanks for asking, but how are you ?
[ i gotta tell ya, she has not taken her eyes
off her book since i came in here
a’bou a thousand years ago .
she is all under the covers with
a lamp on either side of the bed.
i mean if i could photograph this you’d see it right off no problem – these words without portfolio .
it is end-of-november . it’s naked shapes just beyond the window – trees with roots as dark & stained as long buried bone & branches from which every leaf has gone .
we no longer have to go .
we are swept along .
