Poem: Cut-Up January 31

“I’m with you! Here’s to Ourselves!”

Millions of eyes
Cover the ground
Your footsteps follow
You cannot recall where

The routes of the swallows
Who cut the air
Their wings a
wilderness of mystery

Thieves, illicit lovers
Grazing a pinnacle
Guttural howls
From cellars and lofts

Meet me there
Where at the lapis gate
Leaving the city
Riders sing soft

I simply want to be back home
a-eatin' flap-jacks, hash, and ham
With folks who savvy whom I am!
