Speaking (of) Poetry

Tea: Mixed Berry Green

Music: Evanescence, "Bring Me to Life"

Time: Almost midnight.

I can't sleep. So instead of reading myself into dreamland, I'm going to a late night poetry reading and recital at a friend's apartment.

It starts at midnight. Who knows when it will end?

I need verse more than sleep right now, though. There's a piece, taken from a walk in a vineyard, that hasn't been spoken aloud in years.

I think it's time.
