Verse

A pencil on the table,
a window holding light;
I wrote down the missing date
and let the words sit overnight.

Refrain

There is another page, but this one has a place to rest.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.

Original spoken-word lyric sketch in the A collection worth returning to cycle. The refrain is shared by the ten pieces in this cycle. No audio recording accompanies this piece.
