fire

the living famine.
my soul gaunt, haggard and sad.
spirit empty husk.

only the stars know
what favors you will receive.
shine on lucky stars.

the pendulum swings.
bright day arches its long back.
welcome home summer.

incessant knocking.
not woodpecker but hammer.
man’s search for meaning.

overt carelessness.
the ingrained speciesism.
man the hairless ape.

yelling and screaming.
angry monkey on my back.
keeping to the path.
