it turned the hare into a twirling dervish,
the raccoon to a pantomime villain,
forced mice

Be a Candle-POTD

...nascent 
     dawn appears

in fluorescent foam.
Blue pods rattle on green tides.
Bladder wrack, Mermaid’s Hair
washing tangled ankles.
There are voices in my open mouth,

the people speak like animals
and their animals listen like humans.
Deep in a Malay forest
there are apes that love God
with a slow burning love

A smoked umber
moves through 
an invisible throat.
Fine hairs

I do not have an expensive fur
You might not like the way
I feed myself
And I know, you neither like my presence
nor my appearance
