angst cycle (iii) 
[ư] (ii)
with a long–overdue decision 
i had some teeth removed 
the gum was an ache for go
 
now there’s an analogy of course 
with a long–difficult decision 
i shall have some grief removed
 
it will be like the sun drinking rain 
a great deal of steam then 
there will be no water
 
a thirsty man and i shall be thirsty 
shall merely find another ocean 
on another side of the attic
 
it shall be like the sun drinking rain 
it shall be like the air drinking hope 
it shall be like sleep drinking all the futures
 
so i have to find another ocean 
this time i shall allow wilde and effort 
it is difficult to yield to temptation
 
as it was difficult to face the drill 
as it was difficult to steam the sun 
as it was difficult to breathe
