this morning washed _ so that fragrances _ rise while
_you inconceivable sleep _curled up wise bud in my
bed _ and I incredulous pedal the hill to this day _my
_work facing dusty stacks with a secret _ small music
called _maybe your face could unfurl for me _later
but now is the time when happiest I should be writing
poems and indeed _ they stir around in here it may be the
time having come to them or they _ to her _ the ideas
arriving to someone it has just occurred to me _I grab
a yellow _pad _hide in the _shelves instead _sweet letter.
