SICK MORNING Method: do not disturb the arrangement. The candle is load-bearing. The steam from the mug is the room's only movement and you need it. The blanket where it landed is correct. The book face-down is correct. The medicine box, half-open, constitutes a complete sentence. The sky will not lift. This is not a problem the sky is solving. Light the candle before anything. Let the amber thread itself into the grey. Sit somewhere the dog was recently. Wait without waiting. This is the recipe for being in a room where someone small is finally, briefly, sleeping.
