Small Wonder

No lyrical odes come for you,
disregarded slug.

You are an eater of gardens.
And you're slimy.

You shall receive no rhapsodies
singing of your gently undulating grace,
the fractal mottled monochromata of your slow torpedo body,
your infinidirectional
questcurious
softalien
eyes

on

stalks.

this is just SO cool. Perhaps you could follow this up with the crow who swoops and eats his tender flesh...to save a flower but to give a bird life? What a wonderful circle.

"the fractal mottled monochromata of your slow torpedo body" Fantastic!!! This scantwee poem moves & feels like the 'softalien eyes' of the slimy little creature crawling from the pen of a genious poet. Embryonic & infinitesimal...purrfect.
