By one of several
psychics it's suggested I weigh
my pockets with citrine, I find
a muse in sincerity, I give myself to good
anarchy.
Then in a small town
or no town at all, it seems
right to light, it seems right
to settle down, and find the news
in stars, or no stars at all--
to bed not too late; to bed
while the fire waits
to warm the curious
meanderings of a mind at rest,
a hand clutched like a knife.
Love won't end me
like it does a song.
