Today is a
behemoth gargling with lye
diazepam droll
and forceps.
Who knows weather
vain and particulate
midges and smoke,
wind and seeds.
Movement is
futile stunned unconscious
Bombus insecta against the picture window.
Neuropathy and
tinnitus or fridge noise
or gales across
the parched plains.
Man tracking the
grizzly that mauled him
Ursus cousin versus stupid human.
Today inside
looking out on the couch or
chesterfield
depending on whether here or there.
