Formerly Known as Giant Squid
heavy, deep and dark.
louder, louder;
the twofold pounding
of clockwork respiration.
thud, (thud-thud)
goddess arms hang
into the abyss, like
dead weight.
depth obscures,
lesser life forms
meander on their own,
unaware of the wayward colossus.
/lonely/
a shroud of antiquity
suspended —
veiling the secret
of ages.
thud, [thud-thud]
percussive life
continues alone,
out of time.

Your fascination with women and fish will be rewarded!
Happy New Year. Would love to see you and Fred sometime soon.

Therese, I haven’t yet seen it, but I want to. We’ll be up in Rhinebeck most weekend. We’d love to see you too.
Did you write this? It is beautiful. Wow.

I LOVE that it is a squid.
