Do we get out of bed?

It’s not very good. Some of it is “haiku-like,” short, pithy stuff. Others are self-reflective or otherwise. Feel free to criticize any of it–I won’t be posting anything I just wrote, so if you think it sounds depressing it’s likely something I wrote weeks earlier on a bad day.

Here’s the first installment for today:

Deadness
In a cold branch
Waiting for new life
