animals in my life 
bounce by 
they light
and lift 
bank swoop 
some
surefoot 
thoughtless
light of
heart 
so seeming
wise 
in what to
do
indoors in
walls 
in thoughts
and prayers 
the you for
instance 
others all 
and in the
end 
far seen hunting
come grisly
sudden
a skitter
and a slink 
they lack
the winking lid 
hide in a
cloud, squeeze 
hope
against 
how is
their sleep consisting?
cultivate
cute 
see sneeze 
all paws 
run the rug
make a dash
and sweat for it 
never out
of ink, ideas 
how often
they seem to miss the point 
wild, and
they’re vanished
to
camouflage, to ground 
tangle of
grammar have at 
they creep 
lovely in their
lies 
accused of
prayer 
populate a
documentary 
rhymed with
gone 
and smelt
them then 
day is
their having risen 
as when I creature
it for comfort 
and animal
myself 
in blazing
catch
eyes for a
dark 
to throw
paths 
die of an
honest thirst
they
themselves bitten 
still
linger 
come what
may 
death the
unknown 
an instant
away 
and full of
tricks as all are
coming
through the webs
as if you’d
won the race
you’d never
known about 
these
animals, my intimates
as nameless
to me 
as I to
them 
we none of
us are tame 
but
slip
through a crack in the dream 
just as far
as it takes to be
