William Matthews - Sunday Alone In A Fifth Floor Apartment, Cambridge, MassachusettsWilliam Matthews - Sunday Alone In A Fifth Floor Apartment, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Work rating: Low


The Globe at the door, a jaunt to the square for the Sunday Times. Later the path you made has healed, anyone may use it. A good day for a fire. Fast clouds tug their moorings of rain, bent like a wet field in the wind. It`s almost dusk when you look out, the sun falling, visible beneath the curds of clouds. Open the window. It`s like leaving the door to the shower stall open. A draft and a few bars from the Linz Symphony wend in, like an exact crack in a damp wall of white noise, the dial tone, the breathing of sleepers, the dub-dub of a car`s left tires smattering the manhole cover on Ware St. The music of others is almost enough, but you can put on a record to be sure, to make you want to dance late in the day in a light that seems to come from inside the cloud bellies, like the rash that breaks out just below the skin over a woman`s breasts as orgasm comes on, and on, and goes.
