MY VISCERA




My viscera, glistening unseen,

Accepts the alcohol diluted of my

Ancestors, while stoutish friendly bees

Float apple-petaled-May in lily ponds

Unaware of drownings, as heedless youth

In muffled purrs of motors, drive beyond

The fence, appearing now and then between

The slats of wired cypress, drowned in fumes

Unlike the apple-water-laden bees, and die

Alive and young which I neglected years

And years and years and alcohol ago.

(Clicking on photos enlarges them.)
