My chest opens,
yawns Yes
, closes
with a poem inside.
I didn't twist
the dial to split
my sternum, only viewed
the moon, rising.
I don't want
to understand
this magic. I am
young & still
alive. I don't want
the dogs to stop
barking.
after Jim Harrison
- Unlike this Notes to Self poem, in this case I am responding to Jim Harrison's Barking.
