Dont call on me

there’s a crouch in me today
and a hunger for meat

there is no corralling
the unhived bees

i am edgewise on the threshold
i am poised for dissent

the opening pause
the slam
the whistle

next


what dream did I undream that unlearned me to dance?

I want to put my head down
I want to close my eyes

Don’t call on me

reckless

I am abandoned
