Cat Stew


there is at once
only coursing
eddied into
inlets

I am always now
a process self
pulsing into
limit

dream it, it can be done
fear it, it will come
hope for it, and it's none

see but only thought
and the cat becomes a stew
a nonce and nonsense
yet ado

but it can be eaten
why it's not
not a jot
yet pot
kettles
reason

  2. Glad you like it. I think it's fun when, after writing, one reads what was written and thinks, "now that is interesting." And only then do you see the way the words fold back in on themselves and tie and untie their sense.

    none//see
    nonce
    nonsense

    for example
