To Complete My Present

Must I be

Reduced to this again;

This semi-scavenging,

Raking over cold bones,

Ash-thoughts,

Yesterday’s detritus-currency?

Raiding yesterday,

The days-before

To complete my present?

Going back …

So far …

(How far ?

Who knows ?)

To stay in the

Same frog-damned place?

I should have paid more attention:

Seems we are all

Much more mushroom

Than we could ever

Have imagined.
