le petite mort


the mineral + the mammal = little deaths
moving, halting, decimating.
we had our duck, it tasted gutsy
gotta do whatever it takes to float a lil, no?

//
traveling on a fine traveller, as seasoned as the weather.
pity it ain't exactly monsoon, just a stiff cold feather
a little tragic, a little sweet.
a little broken, a little salty.
the mammal and its spanish neruda, captive and free.
yeah, the mammal- it remains captive and free
with eyes sad and the soul of a japanese woman
belting a lonesome tune.

the mammal has a book of wayward trees.

are more souls tragic than happy?
do they palpitate more than vibrate?

we had our duck, it tasted gutsy.
