Poe’ts Haven

 
I take Crow

for a walk

(off-leash)

–every, every day—

and lately?

Lately I wonder if my

boomeranging companion

isn’t just wingin’ it
 
 

isn’t impersonating a bat

impersonating a superhero

impersonating humility

in a grand sort of way

humility, and oh

–Nevermind

caws the Crow

Nevermind

(just you…)

Nevermind

I always do, though,

and that’s why

I bell

mountain lions

Belle big kitties

to have a running start

(at fight or flight)

though I flat out don’t

–fly—

anymore

–run–

anymore

–fight—

anymore

‘cause I’m newly

seeking

Bears.

I carry bear treats

for

the Bears

I rarely find

(and find so rare)

since bare bones

is just

a typo

and gristlies

scream for

gummi,

and I’m all

about the gummi

these days,

chewy, gooey

gummi

most days

–anyway.
