[Dear Planet Zog] Light lies in the skin In the mud, in the smell of a ruin... In the quaint moments shut wanting to open... In a zillion children’s burnt blood decanted from tilted hospital ruins Not in the robots that breed robots for a planet they won’t call Zog (stupid) There’s so much we could be doing but don’t because of how we’re feeling (odd...) Because of what this predictive text wants us writing...(off) **** it... I’m not frightened, never have been of being Just frozen – broken – breaking – mending – sending – back to my soul – a child and teacher’s chance to know but not neglect this To flow... and fetch fragments of that bliss we still nurture as it glows, grips, insists...(to wake in some blue moonlit snow and project this) [That’s all I’m not afraid to know now – but go on, skip...]
