162/365 - 166/365


10.20.10
The world on her back
Old Tortoise scuttles beneath
the water’s surface.

10.21.10
The night settles in
with television static
unfolding over—

10.22.10
Do not feel the need
for words tonight; exhaustion
numbs the thought process.

10.23.10
Just before midnight,
with cat asleep at my feet.
Finishing lectures.

10.24.10
No words. No letters.
No extremes. No new phrases.
Complete negation.
