MODERATION

She passed Herself

a Knife

And cut Herself

a Slice

From the Cake of Life

SALAMANDER

...in the cover of over cast

at last she'll meander past

Heresy History Hearsay

not to be locked in a quote

set in paper, nor plastic frame

She'll thumb her bold journals

whose blanks are always worth

another critical knock and look

cold and dry, shot and bothered

set out on some unbarren rock

strike out and desert what's cliche

dark spots like water will drop

tears torn turning by turn

to revive the skin within—

Parchment of an amphibian

See how new spittle swims,

& Let the next chapter in…
