Thirst

currently the side of your lip is draining a little

Presently you believe I should tell you

a past filled with fish

while the lake mists over?

πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜πŸ’―πŸ˜„

In any case, don't you see

how thirst beats in the throat

of the reptiles on the squashed leaves

πŸ˜ƒπŸ’―πŸ˜ΊπŸ₯°

On the ground

pre-winter's dead hedgehogs

have plunged through the periwinkles.

πŸ˜ƒπŸ’―πŸ˜”πŸ˜Œ

Furthermore, you bite

the dry stalks:

currently the side of your lip is draining a little.

What's more, presently

you maintain that I should tell you

the historical backdrop of birds?

Be that as it may, in the intensity

of early afternoon, the wild cuckoo

flies alone.

☺πŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ŒπŸ’―

Despite everything

the lost little dog wails among the briers:

maybe the narrows horse, running,

hit him with a dark foot

on his nose.
