Only quiet time
to read tea ceremony
book is in bathroom.
Every night I
play Russian Roulette with sleep
instead of bullets.
I said I’d be in
bed by ten. Then midnight. Now
it’s one. How ’bout three?
I lock the TV
behind the armoire doors so
I can get work done.
Some days it feels like
all I do is sit on this
couch and write for hours.
Halloween spirit
eludes me, like the ghost of
someone I once loved.
Turn the clocks back next
week? I could use that extra
hour of sleep right now…
Decorations for
Halloween still not up. Life
seems scary enough.
Nighttime landscapes blaze.
Lines of fire on hillsides trace
borders of life death.
