I write by night now, when nothing thrums but my lamp. It makes a halo around my desk, and its oily stink creates a heady balm. There is no sound save my pencil across the paper and the soft clicks that emanate from the fire in my stove. The house sleeps; Amherst sleeps. Only I endure. And when my pencil tires of flicking word arrows onto the page, there is the moon to admire, full-faced and lovely, a bright coin. I enjoy it at every stage of its passage from plate to curving wedge to sliver to fingernail. I love its pallidity.

I am both exalted and calmed by my farewell to colored clothing; it speaks to me of the way feelings reside in me: I am at once whimsical and wistful. Are these not strange mates? And yet in me they are permanently entwined in love’s long embrace.
