Inside a Goat

 

Don’t be fooled

by appearance

dear friend—

A tiger roars

from inside a goat.

The sky moves

through a falcon’s feathers—

don’t be afraid to break

into dust—

grapes nourish our

souls only when they

are crushed and squeezed—

after all

nothing is in

your control.

Only remembering

can expand you.

Not from memory

but from intelligence—

You’ve a center

that is unshakably sweet—

that has infinite evergy

to weave turmoil

into wine.
