Pen scratches into a page, ink
stains paper and hand.
Each word removed from the brain
like tumors put there by god.
Should stars be compared to orphans
who disappear through the night,
or compose a sonnet about dandelions
being worthy of a mother's vase?
Such choices help fill the oven with gas,
but not before wetting towels.
