the night star two months of fast and furious deadlines has ended,
and in being over has released those thoughts
that came in the first week of those due dates,
those broken feelings and unmended sores
that have made some awkward nights
and mornings
over those two months.

the moral hangover settles
after the intellectual
and physical impediments
are removed for now.

i feel weak in its light,
a piercing piercing light,
that settles steady on my soul.

smells,
gods, i haven't done laundry since
before this torrent of work descended.
i smell her on clothes pulled from the hamper,
and am thrown back,
in to memories
and the flood continues...

the night is frozen,
pathetic fallacy.

once, i remember writing, lovingly,
that pathetic part is the fallacy,
and the fallacy is thinking
that nature gives two shits
about the human heart.
