I do that late at night, God knows why. My internet spelling check is

Dear Will,

If your lines are about pysical pain, then a hot water bottle gives
quick,
if not permanent relief. If anything else, a good talking to oneself is
as
good a remedy as any and doesn't cost much.

The world is full of wonders and we are privileged to be a part of it,

Cheers, Will!

Coil

This coil of pain
memory burns
with flashing image
and haunting misses.

Distinct dream vision
mixed up with consciousness
train seems right on top of me
conductor has an agenda.

Only the Gods see beyond this veil
I've seen those eyes
red blazing shaking.

No time to think,
no desire to.

There seems to be a wide awake
slow ride
consciousness carries
stretches through these years
these days... this minute.

As if the night could purify
rather than corrupt
my reptilian hands
my repetition in signs.
