unhappy anniversaries

perhaps that's why i'm so wiped. i remember deep inside a year ago. it all began to end today, a year ago. at least my awareness of the end.

and now the tears come.

but i've never feared tears.

there is so much to do and i cannot get bogged down in unhappy anniversaries. i have to let it go. to let it go.

the dreamer must rise. she has slept too long.

a fitful, sweaty, difficult slumber. the dreamer must rise.

and face the day.
