26. The Sudden Appearance of Foxes in the Darkness of Night Shocked Her Deeply

We:
choose something horrible
must sit at the edges
are smeared with a past
filthy as cake
regretted w/ everything
don’t know what is
learn very slowly
to hide inside possessions
abase ourselves to power
dream of many things
that may not happen
don’t trust
or like this world
– how can we
change it?

A Dog:
doesn’t regret
knows what is
even
hacked off head
knows what is
yet still
abased to power

Hate:
bubbles & flourishes
fuels & propels
gets caught up & sticks
– scratch off
w/ brambles

Children:
don’t realise
don’t clean
don’t hate
– where are we all
this early autumn sun?

The Stories:
scars & repetition
grand natural process
what comes after
unfilled voids appear
mean nothing
spore, bubble to flourish
tend into dreams
all about children
tell us
what action is
what words
can do
filling these voids
