Human Animal

on Babes and Kine

a babe, suck for life

manual like breathing must have been

in the kitchen, round the yard

from mama’s nipple learned a true nature

and every relationship contained in it

 

That new teat now disposable pink become youth’s poison

suck, suck that milk made poor, of machines and other spotted kinds

carry with it their dissolved despair; It weren’t meant for me or you

You thief You wretch, Defilers!

 

wont you think of Them?

and them?

 

but you defilers also be defiled, why?

 

maybe just unthought want for what’s past your time

a tree want rainwater rather’n urine

And from the sky his friend, not the sea a stranger

 

but a stranger you be now mama, and strange
