COCOON

what kind
of cocoon
is this

i ask

where you cant think
cant even dare to think

of all
the things
you cannot anymore do

~

then

in the sagging gusset
of the afternoons bluff

night is here

WINTER FRAGPOPS

decembers tagnuts

vie for place

in januarys

bereft gusset

~

now i remember

a late afternoon

high & itching

in the summer nettles

marlboro lights good

for hayfever throats
