October 27, 1948 There are so many thorns here - brown thorns, yellow thorns all along the length of the day, even into sleep. When the nights jump the barbed wire they leave tattered strips of skirt behind. The words we once found beautiful faded like an old man's vest in a trunk like a sunset darkened on the windowpanes.
