Kit Kelen #1107 - other creatures than we are

1107

other creatures than we are

swoop

inhabiting the heart

there is no time in them

but do, loll, gorge

make whimsy

some hum

with all there is to us

and stammer out the names

greet, meet

and often we delete

spiders to praise

and cockroach kill

like medicine

and sticky

we solemnly chase poison rats

and paper wasps that way

bats of night

in the fruited palm

fat with hanging just there

some decided

against their heads

and some could not go

but on with the dark

what a racket they all are

sing soul to say

as may be

some speak

of far away

kamikaze kookaburra

crashes into my window of morning

other creatures than I am

make forest with me

breathe

in a possible shower

ex tropical too

are crawling up

and climbing me

some run to fur

and some are skerrick

tuneful to be lit

and in another time zone

some pale

with what’s to come

black cockies call in

blare to be bright

the powerful owl

will have your brains

and call her midnight
