WEDNESDAY


Strange quality of fixtures:
        desks and chairs, smooth
wood of flooring.  To amount
to no more than a presence here.

Today haunts these oddments,
        objects with their catechisms we read,
their sides angled from us,
indicting the sharp edges of time and being.

Still: to have thoughts of naive festival days,
        of childhood, when we fulfilled ourselves
in speech.
