The cuckoo sneaks in
her eggs
in the crow’s nest
while he is off
cracking

a to-do inventory
of salt-and-peppered
permitted #sins,
over some cheesy
greasy omelette

Love’s #bequest—
Sand grains
on the dune above me
Some blooms
on a few cacti
for my balcony
…and some runes
ah, those ruins
of our corporeality

Uncle Dang, what’d the king do to royal barber who cudnt keep a secret n sang to a tree, “da king has horns, wi ma eyes I’ve seen”, n when da tree fell in a flood, a dhol made from it drummed da song in da court?

November, you moronic nincompoopsie Mumpsimusian bamboozling gongoozler—whaaat!—already?
September’s still clodhopp-er-ring—mopingly, moppingly—unwilling to #renounce the tree of anarchy, for heaven’s sake!

“What?!”

“Exactaccatatut-struttut-a-um-uh-oh-actly! That’s. what.”

…so that they’d learn later, regretfully much later, why it was important to hurt and to hurt each other…when they’d finally shed all that they #nurture -d & wore…or bore, but regretfully again, bare before none but themselves.

#Sustain

A breath
A beat
And count
I can’t I can
I try
In #Within
Out
Without
I tried
Retried
#Float a breath
Out without
Drop the salt
Now Count with me
the breath
the beat
I can I can’t

Mist and Clouds
I tried
I tired
