Going Home: Homage to Santoka
I danced with a girl
she had three legs and danced well
I was quite drunk then
when she goes to church
with the red shoes upon her head
a miracle will happen
she undresses
like an onion peeling itself
I have tears in my eyes
earth worms underground
are you happy there?
I spread my arms
she spreads her legs
martial art
saint valentine’s day
two sparrows are not mating
my mind is empty
my bladder is full
oh I am sorry
you were playing a tuba
I didn’t know
I can’t eat bacon
the soprano is screaming
like a dying pig
so many lights on the street
I lost my shadow
the undertaker
he dumped the deceased in the pit
took the casket home
a frog came to the door
it was a jehovah’s witness
reborn
in a dense fog
I drove past an abandoned house
it was my home
