Of Old Men Much Like Animals
An old man,
prehistoric in stature, tends the fire
just before
these rainy winter undulations
...sleep!,
in wet and rhythmic valleys
of dream
and the water-symphony playing!Sleep...an all day sleep!
among the muttered lullabies
of old men much like animals
counting sheep
like little boys...and the wet rainy crevice
and its desire in the season of cooling undulation...in the wet rainy season
of reasonless deed like an animal tending the fire.Home
