TUMBERLINA PETAL

optimism

is
like
a tumberlina petal
on a dead dogs paw

but still counts

has to still count

night clots in 

the dark months

blood trail rust dry

in the mountain pass

ALLOCATED SPACES

in the mornings
solid silent 
thirsty salt flats
before
the
first
fuckery bombs fall

we 
dredge & drag
for 
some excuse 
of

m e a n i n g

from where
gods evolution comptroller

lopped
off
our
animal
balls

~

we make up a ritual
blow smoke on it

in the Allocated Areas

hand in hand
&
hand in paw

acquiescent 
beyond
the
pale

fermenting & compressing
a
stress
shine
diamond

hard payment
for
imposed
hologram
transgression

REACH FOR A SIMILAR PAW

     denim
     wifi
     &
     a choice of hats
     makes
     me
     forget everything

makes me
forget
     i am monkey

    clenched fist 
    trapped online
     in the money jar

release your grip oh monkey you
&
instead reach out 
         & hold
         that offered
          similar 
          simian 
           paw
   
    & smile
  like that rarest thing
      a quiet
     contented
    human child
