Dear Weldon,


The ground here is wet and the sun is always set.
So, maybe, words sprout like moss, close together in clumps or mats.
Moss is found in areas of dampness and low light.
Words are found in between whites.
This, dear, is a stone cold fact.
You either do this or you choose to do that.
So I try with all my might to choose words over blight.

This water...
I'm afraid of it for I can't see into it.
When you weight into it
It's like being dismembered.
No fish dwell in it as far as I remember.
For half of it is the sky.
