Phlegmatic

PHLEGMATIC

-adj.
1. having a stolid or unemotional disposition
2. not easily excited


























The other night we stood in shoals
Phlegmatic at the sea’s south window
and on the other side the sun was heavy and far off
the wind blowing by the green of its flames

welcoming disaster as we chanted – our fears undiluted.
