moose tale


behold
the dove
on back
of moose
meandering
paralyzed
by pain
sunk
beneath
tissue
of time
that winds
around
the fan
that flames
the fate
that frees
the fate
bound
not to be
bound
in this
solitude
of the
multitude
devouring
appetite
blatantly
contrite
the moose
flings the dove
into the flame
that fans
the pleasure
of this pain
