Regretting The Night.

Surviving.

It's not Longer than a Life.

not longer than the line
and the time
it takes to write it
in the stretch of the sleeping

not longer than
cleaning the spatters
off the window sill
a person who likes to grovel
buying the solutions

not longer
than the ring of the telephone
pitching against the stomach
wall.
