savagery is no excuse for vagaries
incessantly, incandescently i will pull
all of these words into a glass-like world
trees so fragile that fall causes a ripple
and then a whole lot of ripples, and then
one of those big-budget movie explosions
good thing it's almost winter.
what i mean to say is that i finally
understand what it is to want
certain things, velvet things
metaphorically, of course
because in my deep-glass world
they do not exist
and sometimes i want to cause a ripple.
