And now what

[tonywalt]

Me up at dawn
in the silence

feet on floor
I stare
at windowed ocean

a nested bird

nearby

asks me, "What
have you done that

I wouldn't have?"

This piece sent me to the "Google" machine to look up the poet who only used adding machine paper to keep his lines short. I couldn't remember his name, but it was (and is) A.R. Ammons. In any event the lines here (as well as your earlier posts) reminded me of this award-winning writer's M.O.

Yes. Confessional writing is perhaps the best natural reservoir of writing. Hell, all art is self-portraiture, in some form.
