#204. "sharp light of morning" (10.19.2009)
sharp light of morning
burns my eyes; makes them cry;
and now the cold is deep
and sharpens morning's blade.

i ate pear and toast
and watched the news with them;
felt sustained; felt normal;
but i then i walk outside.

i drive and sing and feel okay;
i come home and sleep and feel okay;
but loneliness is dull
and erodes only gradually.
