mere point of fire

wild garden I dream
     and the journal of paws

cows beyond cud rumble

it’s smallest voices curse the sun up
it’s dawn that wakes dogs
roosters won’t be outwoken

myself am the whale of morning
turning seas about
each ocean I seamlessly ply
takes on meaning

what calls the mind
to claim exception?

life though larger than me
I everywhere endanger

the place is written in this light
all lines a mantra till they’re down
till ink sets their forgetting
