ON RETURNING TO EARTH/After 48 dark hours
Thanks due,
for long hours in
warm bosom
as the world moves
on wondering
tales of mad
symptoms
with snide lonesome
looks.
Thanks due,
for permissions
freely given
and stolen touches
at chocolate cleavages
when hunger bit and
all that was
defied naming,
except on eager lip folds.
Thanks due,
for a heart loaned
out,
however shortly, as
breeding land
for things
"that were as though they were not"
thanks due
as rat dangles on,
light rolls
multiple in growing glows.
PS: What's the date
today?
Is it Friday or
Sunday?
