What Is This Language

of What I Perceive?

A Crow alighting on a tree tip

then flying BACK

to where He came from

but that was a while ago

I hear The Fridge

I see The Silver on My Wrists

A Cat who’s very fat

is unable to clean Her Butt

I remember My Brother

gulping down pop or tea

as if He couldn’t get enough

I do the same
