i spread climate
all over the floor
then scrabbled to mop up the mud
with human emotionthe improbable had become probable;
you sitting there, clinging
to a wet rock,
what could i do but open the icebox door
its polar ice cap restored balance
and returned our world
to the familar
then i made love to strawberry jam
and the crackers between your toesbkmackenzie

haha...love those last two lines...it just opens the mind up to wonder how that might be possible...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI guess climate has been changing for billions of years, before Venice and us. Through it all, the cockroach has remained.
ReplyDeleteThat roach, the cleanest being on earth, has no jam between his toes. Maybe he can teach us something?
I LIKE this poem...even though I do not fully understand it.
PEACE!
Steve..the climate change is actually between two people...that should give you some insight...bkm

ReplyDeleteI so love this! Visually rich for the imagination to ponder. Love him clinging to a wet rock while she opens the fridge door to the polar icecap, to restore the familiar. Awesome write!
