My own voice, orotund sweeping and final, and after 6 years not wanting kids, my wife suddenly wants them with a desperation I’ve only seen in the drug addicts I work with wanting their fix.

"The orotund silence of the night
remains the music
of the infinite.

I stumble naked onto the streets,
ripe with verses
that have been lost..."

My translation of Federico Garcia Lorca's beautiful "Hora de estrellas"
