Serious Faults
How easily the fabric of goodness is disorganized
uneasy chickens seeing wolf shapes everywhere
those who were meant to fly and don’t live under a littler
sky
traveling on cruel inroads bumpy with hunger
and misted over.
In the devil’s cloak, in the angel’s
knickers
the black wing of the traveler on a carcass
caressing the deed into oblivion, go on –
silently rearranging a garden at night
thistle, thorn, wild rose, radish
mean life rising in the soil. |
