Mostly,
providing that my night’s POV,
(incited & insensed,
advancing instances of
ghosts and guesses,)
doesn’t reach ridiculous,

.

Mostly,
might you see me assembling a way…
tonight’s sweeping trick of keeping
trembling at bay.
Always, again.

.

I’ll pretend to care about Everything
If you’ll see that I freely can
Call out to nothing in the way, an’
Call out to nothing in the wind.

“No, no, no, no! Come, let’s away to prison.
We two alone will sing like birds i’ th’ cage.
When thou dost ask me blessing, I’ll kneel down
And ask of thee forgiveness. So we’ll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales”

.from “King Lear”
