I Sing the Body So Mortal

a bloodied nose -
the Bug did it
(just like the Bomb
in the Fifties)

the body winds down
but we repair it
like patching
an old bike tyre

out the back a cat
plays with a frog
out the front a cat
eats a lizard

boxed in my own
mortality
I toss between
past and future

pills before breakfast
pills after -
oh let the garden
grow wild
