The black dog has me


I miss this book

After an insightful day, I suddenly find myself in a black mood just as its time to post. I am worried about money, behind on my tasks, not moving physically NEARLY enough, and I miss the Starbucks journal with an almost physical ache. I haven't been there since rehearsals started.

the black dog has me
i cannot sit imprisoned
staring, typing, still

hot sluicing water,
a stretch, toothpaste, dreamless sheets --
standing's a relief

not a good day, my
body says -- no jumps, no twists,
no recess, gym, play

But still a poet and, heh, you can't be on full power and dynamic every minute of the day!
