Monday Poem
Water Snapping Off Your Skin
That water snapping off your skin
in a shower
its warmth is the same energy
stoked in the sun
Its stoker is coy and cruel behind
the mask of creation
behind a bright sunrise
a fierce fire in his fist
Is the one
doing and undoing
damning or undamning
burning and unburning
This fire was
never begun

The same hell the obsessive-compulsive endures.
Formidable, Jim.

Felix—
That's an angle that never occured to me.
Thanks.
