I Knew A Cat


I knew a cat

Enlightened and holy


Who couldn’t care

For haircuts tiered


Pedestrian comportments in

Oblique vigilances leering, he’d say


Jaunty sprays of scatter-shot ruminant

Weather-cock enchiseled

As if sacred root emboldened


As if veinous-flood through

Fallow tuber unconfounded


As if betwixed be-ledged stepless reaches

Purgative commuted


And therefore Cathared-lipped

Catharsis fold-founded


I knew a cat

His orchestral sound rhythmed

Layered year unto

Layered year rhythmed


I’ll know him again….

Loam


Repletely voweled moan

Of priceless loam


Seeking

 

Repletely voweled loam

Of priceless roam

 

The artery that makes


And unmakes stone
