ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 3
THOUGH I STARTED TO SAY THEIR
I should have said
the pieces of bark were in my
pockets from the long walk
in the woods and the trouble
I got into there
which was more soreness
and stepping carefully and
remembering the way back
than trouble really
but it is when I need to pay
full attention and recall accurately
that I feel the thought
of what happens if I don't
and it thrills me like trouble
and the soreness is my companion
like the dog and we tromp joyfully
where no one is
I mean that it is like
we are where not even
we are
