Lard – A Journey Up a Slippery Slope
I carry a liberated larder
on my back, an empty larder
it is not
>>>> a secret
but like a Jay it collects secrets — secrets
stored
for no one to see — only me
only mine
this burden of mine
like stockpiled swats seeking twilight targets
{
a lady’s fancy — that moth now departs
drawn towards another light;
}
I carry a larder, liberated
from the pressures of daily duties
offerings of open doors and otherwise
circumcised wormhole rules {dilly dallies}
<prostration; probation; cloudberry jam>
I carry a larder with me , , , , every , , , day
other toil

foil — for a lifelong search for meaning
up a slippery slope bent on mending
naught
of relevance — substance-less protuberances
in the void of one
still dreaming.
