Kerri Shying R # 35.1 Adapting Grasses

Adapting Grasses

I took the candles off the table

wondered where to put them

so they can be used to light the wake

disease it’s like the reed

left dry in an old bassoon

too cracked too shrill

blowing off the tune

catching up your tongue

to tears

all reeds split in time

there is no more money

no more knowing

can get the supple back.
