drifting

i have slept all day again. this time, due to stomach cramps so severe this morning that i passed out on the floor a few times. i thought better than to go to work.

i had uncomfortably vivid dreams all day, maybe it was the heat, maybe not.

one thing i am finding with my poetry reading, is that the more i re-read the poems, the more time i spend with them, the greater the intimacy and understanding and feeling with them becomes. it's more like listening to music than reading a novel.

Desire

Nor
desire
but together
a flower
desire
I was happy

Sappho


i like to re-read them so i can see them better, feel them better, know them better.

it is very different to narrative.



in other news - i desperately want to reorganise my bookselves. only i don't have the space to move things like i want to. this is problematic. problematic indeed.
