seeking the lowest point
from which to proceed
i find fault
i see some perfect
leopard's paws
and a man with an axe
(apple of his eye
playing house
with just cause
he plucks it gladly
borrowing more and more
tools
evicting a family
he chases off their cat
into traps
set for birds
and fools
his neighbours
pleasantly pick flesh
off bones
(heliocentric steaks
& thick unheathen skins
blood on their chins
& mine
but being blind from birth
I rarely look
for chairs
before I sit down
for my meals
blue blood
allows for impudence
of sucking out
the marrow of the uni
verse
'til sated with
a ponderous perception
(not ponderosa pine
proprioception
and yes
the sun also rises
& a river runs
through it
don't worry
there is nothing
to it
