2 Variations on Variations of a Theme

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


2 Variations on Variations of a Theme cut-short being: it was more Important that this Hand starting engaging in the Act of placing that Food in this Hand in Thy Belly

I.


Winter, will

break


your Face, calling out

for Help,


tired & wondering

whether you


will ever

get Home.


II.


Turkeys, covering the sidewalk

carcassing


them Kids, fall around


as the season’s Fall

only to stand


again rigid

on the telephone


makes a Humming

in my Ears


was December, turning

the Chapter, flattening


upon the lips

of a Ghost


“I like this

Picture” coming to


cold blows hidden

in Dad’s merry


land & above was a Pigeon

with a Great Ass


waving upon us all


“it’s just that we’re seasoned

properly


for the breezy night’s bore

boredom covering


this & that causing the Wintry

figure to announce the names


of the Dead, for no reason


at all was a good reason

to think, Christmas


would leave us all

leftovers in the End
