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
breakfast
