For my son, Joey, on his birthday, with love and gratitude.

I could be lying in my bed sleeping
which is where I should be
but then there are the transomes -
reflections of the window
that cast upon the wall, shadows,
doubts, thoughts, of a poor sleeper . . .

Little girl running
shrinking
in her own reflection
Sinking down
running
from perfection
Too many scars

It is dark now
Silent
except for a wind
roaring
against a wide, red house
I can hear it
push against the window
and through the hall
I can feel it
through the lonliness
of my soul
Picture . . .

And make believe schemes.
But most of all,
Building bridges that . . .
