of Pain and Caterpillar
The weeping table
-like every infinity pool-
recalls the names
of each …
who’ve eaten its bread
to rise above … ambulating furniture …
we also must notice
when souls meet … their iron & boundary …
where invisible guardians say “no wave shall pass”
and like paleo-brides of long ago china
a shoe … crimps on feet
(and so much more than that)
and a hobbling ensues
— assuming that blocked one …
doesn’t …
expire at the spot …
of the pain.
