10-DEAREST MAN

DEAREST MAN

One of us is a deer

footsure

mulching

munching

whatever’s underfoot… above… beyond

the wet woods

berries red unearthed in snow

listening for whales a while away

the other

has ears heated by Hendrix

wailing and wailing and wailing and wailing

is the record skip skipping?

is my heart

skip skipping?

do it again

make me feel it

feel it

again

make me

feel lit

again
