A Wednesday Trio

How could I forget
my dependence on the words
that give life to me?
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
In a secret place
she kept one stick of incense
for emergencies.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
The bedclothes rumple
beneath my restless body—
old cockroach hotel.

    A set of stunners.Must always have incense. The third one reminded me of a 3rd class journey at night on the sleeper train from Malalysia to Bangkok. Really very very good stuff.

    Excellent! I love them all! My favorite is the first one! As without our words we would not be writing.
