Fool

"Do not spray into eyes

I have sprayed you into my eyes."

I let You in

and pica astonishes me.

Rabid

rabbit in spring

     leaping

wild-eyed for more than mating

some kind of grand ringing

in all this. The chimes from the neighbor's back deck

at night. The Cheshire Cat smile of a moon.

The longing to scrape earth in my hands

taste bitter grass, split the clouds

spit and laugh

soften stones between my two arms.

Kiss frost from the window

shear my head

or cover it.

"You made a holy fool of me

and I've thanked You ever since."
