WREST TO RUST

 

 

Tiptoes require time

Lathered words do not
a philosopher make

The cook shines like shit
in the moonlight

Hunger will eat through
strongboxes of sour rains

An old woman dances
leaves her troubles in her clothes

I turn faster than a weathercock
my mind a cage of candles

Show patience, touch me like wool
dipped in a winter brook

My bladder an empty cloud
goes slowly, goes far

Let the ankle roll
it will right itself
