hold
a
cricket
to your ear
listen very hard
that is the sound of being stuck
lonely contagious drinking songs
for the status quo
for the status quo
honesty dropping on all fours
tumbling in gutters
scrolling down
until
we're
numb

Emulating a dog's feeling can well be an effort to understand them better! Nicely Rene! And good Fibonacci!

I love this line- so very true!
ReplyDelete"honesty dropping on all fours "
"The sound of being stuck" a line that makes you move to see if you're really free.
ReplyDeleteoh...this speaks deep truth.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool photo. I love "honesty dropping on all fours". I am reading right now a wonderful book called The Art of Racing in the Rain - a family story told through the dog's eyes. Quite wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love how you start it.. indeed the cricket's song can be quite forlorn
