murky bottom primates
What can I say? I dig primates … except poo flinging monkeys. No poo flinging, please.
The murky bottom primates
begin their migration a flock
of white scars breaching
the skin their silent babies all
painted in bright colors and
the blackberry bushes, swampy
ground diving, all that asphalt-
black glass and copper, tongues
of fire, villages and their
tables, darkness and
grass and all the vines
gleaming and blooming
and remaining private.
