Not all sanctuaries are quiet
The salmon are taken
at full light
of leap.
Or they make it
and rot.
People are ruined things.
Do you want fries with that?
Will that satisfy your hunger?
Listen.
Tomorrow’s pregnant
with unborn
light.
Fine, but
if you choose
to rest
in the sanctuary
of acorns,
breaking out
of your shell
will be
the least of your worries.
