Sad Hurkle Durkle

This morning I lay in bed. Did not want to get up.

Shall lie here a little longer, I thought, yes, linger and

fall asleep again.

            Dream my son is making a sculpture

from clay.

                        His uncle’s sister-in-law

            who

shared his birthday      but then died from cancer

            seven years ago .

.

A crumbled, crumpled mass of earth

bends and folds and falls apart in front of him.

I wake up                    disturbed by dirty pain .
