Annie Burie

Poet or Ham

Just another day in springtime

This morning while shitting I held onto a bucket

in which I did some puking

-

Now in the early afternoon I stare out onto the blue

sky

-

and the fever is gone.  I should be out raking or skipping

in the sun

but I got sidetracked

inside a poem

-

Beautiful Emerson,

you weren’t the first to know

that all is connected.

The redwood knew that long

before you, and before the redwood

the jellyfish knew
