Where pain lives

 

 

I guess this is it 

A 1971 French documentary film

Sleeping alone on a queen-size mattress

Wildness inside me 

 

How many times have I sat here listening and yearning 

Is the yearning the point? 

Or the directive


I think it's unreasonable to think it's too late 

Life is just so much vaster than that 

I've heard so many stories 

We are a different kind of young 



Lie down

Head draped off the mattress

Climbing on top 

Like this, and this, and this


I guess this is it 

White chili with corn and green peppers 

A mug of red wine 

Plain, whole-milk yogurt with cinnamon and honey
