your tongue as a lint brush, you
wake up fuzzy-mouthed.

separating the
non-essential from the much
needed is painful.
My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.
Viriconium,
Gormenghast, Majipoor. Dark
journeys. Twisted dreams.
Inertia roosting
inside me like a hen un-
willing to lay eggs.
Going to New York
to be on TV. Need new
clothes. A tent would work.
I keep coming to
post like a lover checking
for text messages.
Silence erases
thoughts and stress like dry markers
wiped clean from white boards.
I really should start
dinner. But husband’s gone, so
I’ll just blog and starve.
A blowtorch melting
a block of ice from within,
pain made transparent.
