Visiting Bjorn’s page I wrote the following as part of a comment. There is something simple and rather stark and minimal, that I find myself liking, for some reason.
as i slept
by a veranda
open to the sea
on a cool night

to let
the wind
and moonlight
and the stars
blow quietly
past me

It was satisfying–and pleasureable–to expand the lines. Now, they conatain what they were meant originally to express–though more minimal. I like this result. I’ll sleep on the next entry some more tonight.
