Babe


Can you please go away

to me (the farmer’s preposition).

His help, who was a sheep

-pig of sorts, which is like

 

the poet of no arrogated ego

 

so that you can sort things out

 

and I can rifle

                             and stay among

the clearances of deposited

ephemera

 press again this bruise.
