I shuffle and I dig.

I snort, for I am hog.

I'll find you out , for you are hag

who hides down in the bog.

the smooth glass
of the night sea

stares up at the moon,
counting her dimples.

The problem with talking about Wisdom
is sometimes people don’t know as he knows
Wisdom is an albatross, honest-to-god flesh
-and-hollow-bone the oldest confirmed living
wild bird in the world,
