The babbler calls, and the small niggardly things fade into the night. 14Pub, party, shopping – all entrapment, is it not, forgetting what’s next? 15Licking each other,all day my dogs show their care. Ah, if we could too. 16Jungle hills confusewhich way is north, which path leads to the shallow sea. 16The tea Wiji broughtCools fast.  I have spent too longdreaming in my bed. 17It will not complete –the four-sided perfect squarethat doesn’t quite meet.  19This is my tally -the long day burdened with scentof sapu flowers. 20They had no daughters,just sons who learnt not to speak,but come, go and go.  21Tiny waves recalllast movements of a great stormfar out in the sea.  Written in a moment between 6.30 and7.30 am in bed on 5th January 2026,","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/y_cYTZLY_554KjVwlUcuZrlxRcBDrk22LfvZgAeolVg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iZmRk/MTYzM2EzNjc5ODZl/M2M4MGEzZGY1MzNm/NGU1YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
