find a way to soothe the toothed thing
a headwind
& weighed down.
gruel at
the table.
still find a way
to soothe
the toothed
thing sitting
on its haunches.
tempting
as it is
do not banish it
to thrash alone
amidst the buckthorn.
perhaps a feast
a flock
of slowfall
light?
yes. choose wisely
today’s fuel.
