backyard altar
-- dAVE

trapped by a rat
not by
cunning
or delicious cheese
not fervid curiosity
caught by
the long-tailed
intrusion
of thoughts
going
awry
scurrying fear
of change
red-eyed
urge to grab
onto the
nearest
big tree
and hold
on
for dear life
thoughts
that
swirl
like
clouds
hummingbird chitters
I sit
see hear feel
breath
see hear feel
breath
swirl
