not a yesterday word
only temporarily paroled
from a moribund dictionary.

as she howled
from her guttural...

How uneasy I was in the eye of abundance
How hiding from the surfeit of joy
From whose very object I

Looking back 

Upon reflection 

Thank you for being brutally honest
and in doing so pointing out the patently obvious starring back at me
