journal of a writing man
Work in Progress
Year's end
in the thin unmeasured space
between one year and the next
while the whirring of the clocks
takes pause before commitment
a silence proportionate in force
to the count of my winters
marks shiver-thoughts on the night
the cypher seems less obscure this year
in twelve months it may be plainer still
