ALL DAY: WEARINESS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: All day I have thought of rain-wet bark
Last Line: Like weariness!
Subject(s): Rain; Trees; Weariness; Fatigue


All day I have thought of rain-wet bark,
Shaggy, hanging loose from the tree,
A little worm-eaten.
All day I have longed to lay my cheek against it,
All day I have longed to smell that dripping bark,
Sour, cool, like a wet shoulder after work.

All day I have dreamed of rain-wet bark,
Shaggy, hanging loose from the tree,
A little worm-eaten --
Like weariness!
