December 2

I read dream sleep wake piss

Make a coffee two three four

A meal two three four

I talk and love and regret

I dig and dig out care for and kill

Toss aside without a thought

And sometimes I kill the wrong thing

By mistake in haste in the passion of the moment

Curse sweep up and forget

I am a gardener father husband or father husband gardener or husband father gardener

Now and then I teach or sing or make flickering things for strangers

And then I dream again
