can you still not understand
God or the gods or your Aunt Tillie
or after falling in love
I did not say ‘comprehend’
but more like passionate
compassion for the position
all lives aspire to cautionary status
even if only to teach us a lesson
for example a leaf hopped just now
from a branch to the ground a flight
I thought was a bird’s and felt
how it made me feel
then seeing it was really a leaf
and dead and heard
not mine its laugh
