And here I am
Writing extravagant poems

In the middle of this dump again
Late at night, bills unpaid

Dreaming of great winds
Chasing ice down from the

Sky pinioning me here with
Little less to do but

Write against the soft hiss
Of the furnace and

The darkness pouring all
Around me like

A song.
