As I arrive exhausted






As I arrive exhausted
My childish slate
Is erased of dusky stories
Not wanting to describe
In a late dismissal
The clarity of evening
Swept from ground to sky

Strewn
Together with
These clothes
Once close
Across the floor
Is a give of room
Lightening
And leavening
The mess

What can't be
Carpentered softly
Or fixed to set a table
Will just make my rest
