Of Arduous Grey,
These
Bleary mornings-
Creature caged
Beast
With gentle eyes-
This is Love
Childlike
Within the Heathen
Hugging rabbits
Sautéing onions
And black beans
Then
Weeping
In the garden
Alive
With the brilliance
Of Rain
Plumes of acrid smoke
Swirling in Dawn
This Life-
One long, laborious
Over-dose
