bringing a reason

and to my day

washed up on
the sand when

“One has to work very carefully with what is in between the words. What is not said. Which is measure, which is rhythm and so on. So, it is what you don’t write that frequently gives what you do write its power.”

Eyes shut
Mind awake
Stirring up thoughts
Past and future
Unknown awaiting
Another night
Ticking away
