No last walk to the beach, no final farewells, not even a landmark, a tree, a grave. It’s the solitude I’ll miss the most. I’ve been outside so little the past few days that i only just realized the nor’easter everyone was talking about was happening right outside my door…

First day in a long time I didn’t wake up with saltpeter churning in my guts, crude oil-enlarged spleen, calcium phosphide seeping from my bones into the urine boiling in my bladder. Didn’t need to be on the brink of spontaneous combustion to feel alive. It felt good.

Re-edify me, moon, give me again
My undetailed order, the designer's sketches.
Strong from your beams I can sustain the sun's
That discompose me to disparate pain.
