Awake by epiphanies of poetics —
My tireless pen scribbling

Sunny, sultry afternoon; a playing breeze tosses my hair.
Eyes...I feel eyes and glance upwards;
By the water well, the Grim Reaper and he is filling the well from a large vessel with,
his eyes on me.

With iPhones capturing it all
As actors sang and danced.
