Depression.

 The wounds of my judge lie open


I mop but blood abounds. He sees

Me, he remembers me—


And every morning he awakens and he 

Drinks a cold lake of brandy. Once he’s done you can see a depression in the mud where maybe

A meteor landed—or a great beast fell

Fighting for its life. Through the

Sinews of his unconsciousness he sees me

In the quiet of my room.
