“We’re Sorry”
For the balloons
for all the two-step Tuesdays
for raisins and the brain
for hairs in your milk
for striding diets and tides to rip you
we’re sorry for your bras and bandits
scampering, the shuddering moons
I’m sorry for daffodils
lipstick smiles fading in the soil
I’m sorry for all the gifts and sincerity
but worst of all the humility
crowns in the glue of envelopes
licked by the tongues of cat queens,
cat purses, cat desserts, cat loneliness
the aimless silkiness of cat purses,
tender buttons: it was all just a lark
and some lost hawk
circling in winsome degradation.
