figure of speech with happy ending
there’s meat in the forest
and honey
but the only milk
is secreted by lactating marsupials
for mini marsupials,
please don’t zoom in on their tenderness
avert your lens from that
unthinking intimacy
for metaphor is for pirates
and the rough language of pirates
taking what is not theirs
and dispensing with custom, whereas
you, you are here, you think, so
think a forest
share it between
two skulls or several, for
secrets prolong
any daydream
