The stars clicked on
late; I lounged aimlessly
in my room. Outside,
crazed moths were sucking
and grazing the crimped lips
of trumpet flowers.
It seemed like
everyone I knew had something
precious to give away
-some mystery
free for the taking.
When I lifted my face
from a book, I remembered
every happiness, every
kindness ever
accorded me.
