Idea
It's dark-thirty in the morning,
you're sitting on the porch
wide to the night wind
sipping hot coffee
listening.
It isn't thunder-
weather, not quite, but
upcanyon, there's a black rush
like runoff, caffeine in the veins.
All week you've been flat
on the couch,
not caring one way or
|
|
the other.
Now something
you can't wrap a name around.
Maybe the Old Trickster's
got you
sharp and wild.
You know how dangerous
thoughts can be.
The mind in the flesh
of man
both meat and carnivore.
This Idea has claws
