Have you heard about death
the emptied out pimple of life
ridden the ten thousand things
from the bottom of the deepest
ocean to the top of the tallest mountain
been all ten thousand changes
a transformation anthropomorphized
dreaming of a bear with butterfly wings
sending confusion back to its creator
laughing and turning to laugh against
an other's cheek finding the friendship
of singing at a funeral
joy at the dissipation of one's body
and hunger for thirst when you're swimming
in the lake of pure mudwater
bearing your rage like a tattoo
asking neither for removal
nor consummation.
