Cruising through busy yards under gloaming
orbs blink one by one inside a submarine of bony tissue.
This is the rent in body, too.
This will be a myriad path until obsequious  jaundice seeps & burrows not so calmly.


Instinctive cigarette,
naïf animal  intentions for an eager ******.
Reassured, still.
A neat rest on top of ashes


Lion's tawnies understood the shared blanket,
the cat under his crotch,
lazy
& me petting his Lion
collecting ephemeral drips in a dish.
