Not Enough

Wasn't fast enough. Quick enough. Thorough enough. Complete enough. It served up this twisted dyternity.

Then circled again-eating tale.

The city's steam at the mouth of big river-

emptying, emptying. I feel so lonely-

swept up like distant star struggles through darkness to reach sight

of beloved. I am so afraid and unafraid too. Fearing the night

and day equally. Folding in on

the should's like scattered tacks

across the floor-finding their way

in your foot at every step.
