Snub end of a dismal year,
deep in the dwarf orchard,
The sky with its undercoat of blackwash and point stars,
I stand in the dark and answer to
My life, this shirt I want to take off,
which is on fire . . .

But every time I start to explain it, I forget the words.

The music of memory has its own pitch,/which not everyone hears.
