and affectations.
this is both.
buried in years.
of fears and regret.
love and late lunches.
studies inside my time.
thresholds and forgiving.
a hawk's call, ignored omens.
I ran so far.
drawing cartoons along.
the way of birch trees.
coffee and 200 cigarettes.
movies alone.
a lifetime since 17th street.
funny numbers and metabolism.
I am more than these words.
remember that, heart.
