I have the uncanny feeling I am being watched
by myself. I move self-consciously, clumsily.
There is no getting away from my hidden eyes.

Any liquid except hot milk tastes brackish
and leaves me parched. It is often impossible

never certain that I am asleep. Sometimes
I am awakened by the sound of my own whispering
