Beauty in the apertures of pain

I want to say Without temper If possible without the least sense of the heroic Without even the measured ambition to speak the truth which is only another vulgarity To say I am not what I was Indeed I was nothing and now I am at least the possibility of something and this I will defend.

Suddenly, with July, the heat of sultry summer has jumped on us and we go about the house barefoot, in bathing suits, drinking iced drinks.
