“Why, when you’re done you’ll have
three hundred and sixty five poems,”
said my friend the poet.

“That’s the idea,” I said, though
inventory had not occured to me.

Now, poems waken, irritated,
anxious to flee, flash light,
flood drear eyes.

Wine trail from kitchen to deck
tasted from fingers dripping
blood purple onto terrazo
spit cork into the sink
finding a way back to the bottle.
