The Big Foxes Who Own You --
and Your Little Squirrels Too
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes.
-- The Song of Solomon
"The fox is generally a symbol of trickery,
and is thus representative of a narrow intelligence --
not to mention a squirrely ethics."
-- a former squirrel, retired

up and down
the trees
hop
the squirrels
the country and the world around

Locked in My Memory
Symbolically speaking, the zombie originally represented a speechless, will-less human held to have died and been supernaturally reanimated."

My husband died--or so I thought--
his tailored coffin having bought
and buried wordless feet below
an autumn chill and early snow--
yet years am I a widow still
a zombie mute without a will.

The Real Monsters o' the Deep
All's a sudden I woke with a country twang and straight shot up a-hollerin' in horror, what with each o' my body parts a-drippin' in a perspiration right unpleasant and such.
Till real slow-like I growed aware I won't actually in a world o' critters unnatural.
And that I done but woke up from a turrible dream to discover myself safe in my very own rental trailer home.
Like I was a Hollywood movie star but a-wakin' up from a turrible dream to discover hisself safe...

smaller than most dead asses
his ass of Reason

It's an Egg, Not a Choice
"The ruling majority of Christians holds each power to account --
save its own."
--a rationally ethical antinatalist,
merely one among countless minorities
seemingly powerless

What poor, unwanted eggs knocked up by sperms would not rejoice
to straightway be adopted by all Christians anti-choice?

The Tongue Unsung
"Your worm is your only emperor for diet -- save the maggot."

the decaying corpse

Beneath the Earth slow wriggles appetite
in tongues of poets no one shall recite.
