still waters reflect each twig
of bare trees.

Going to a cocktail party with no one I know in attendance. FYI —Things that would generate less anxiety include: cage-fighting, gator-wrestling, skydiving, and (admittedly with the appearance of irony) giving a speech to a large audience.

“Humoresque” by Edna St. Vincent Millay [w/ Audio]
"Heaven bless the babe," they said.
"What queer books she must have read!"

(Snow, drift deep and cover
Till the spring my murdered lover!)
