Earthen Pot

Intoxicate me with thy soul food
Forlorn a wondering heart
Of subtle substance
Hung on a tree trunk

My jar of wit is overflowing
Across the seven Earth I know of
Touching them to life
Now the sacred pipes are let loose

To tap like never before
From the enormous tree trunk
The shanty town of my utmost being
Like beehive on their newfound prey

Gasping for breath becomes my lot
My destiny, our destiny
