Begin again. Retrospective reneging of the heart.

Correspondence. Lack of empathy.

Lack: to not have,

To not own. To not.

Begin again.

Being as a lack of lack.

An image: surrounded by eyes

That belong to no-one.

A memoire: slight bend of trees

Back and forth in a quiet wind,

The shadow of the setting sun

Shaking over grass and home;

A rabbit runs, rushing right past

The place you planned to hide,

Best not disturb, you think.

Begin again.

All communication with the community

You imagine is babble.

Begin again.

The horror of being miserable.

The horror of being aware of being miserable.

The horror of being aware that others are aware that you are miserable.

Begin again.

A debonair Haitian who may or may not have been tall

Stands confident in uniform,

A hat unbelievable in shape

(Though it was in fashion at the time, I’ve read).

He looks at me. The eyes unreal,

For they are painted.

Begin again.

I am a dog drowning in an ocean of sand.

Begin again.

Speak, speech. Sounds and syntax signify something. Surely, something?

Begin again.

I am not.

Begin again.

A tree falls in a forest and a silver squirrel laments it.
