All through the night
my body
especially my shoulders and breasts
were painful,
almost in a spasm.
I tried to think
what had made me so tense
but couldn’t pinpoint it.
Something to do with Lourin’s visit?
Irma’s pain?
Dwight’s late arrival?
Or all of them.

Lying semi-awake, I thought
for some reason about the
1938 symbolic trek.
And actually HEARD a male voice
(in my left ear) saying something
about the trek.
It was like an incredibly clear memory
from a previous life or something...

I tell you,
I was AMPING last night.

Of course, I can’t remember
the incredibly clear memory
from a previous life.
