I wrote four words today.Just four.I bleed my hours into them.

Each syllable I weigh.Like lifting stones from a dry riverbed,turning each over and over,until one feels just right in my hand.

Carefully carving,studyingand playing with each one:Which catches the light just right?Which plays well with the others?What are you trying to tell me?

But mostly,I discard.

Four words.

All my labor for the day--Just four words.

It was a good day.
