Nicely done, Brian. I so relate to this poem right now. And I love your reading and the ambient sounds. Perfect!

Thanks Jonathan. Bird sound in the background makes a mediocre reading sound divine!

Some good layers in this poem: ground, trees, sky. Sleeping and waking. I’m not familiar with this poet, but I enjoy his realism and stream of consciousness. This promises to be an interesting discussion in the chat.

Been there many times. Maybe I'll have to take my own Rose-dog out for an early walk. But who am I kidding. I barely make it to work on time.

Thanks for that Brian. I've read a few of his novels, very good prose, often very much like poetry.

Do you have a memorable one? I’ve only read his poetry but would love a recommendation!

I've read "True North", "Sundog". and "Dead Man's Float". He's just a really good crafter of prose.
