bit grim I'm afraid, maybe I'll christmas up in some near-future poem.
Rat
I have been misjudged.
I have often lived in history
in the lower places, in the cozy Underneath
where I did better than survival, with my
wit, with my
talismans, with my
hankering for grace¯
the patter & skid of me
are not thrash, or rattle, or lunge;
my patter lost its music,
my skid its finesse,
through the necessity of anger.
in place of privacy
I have hunger, deeper than cuts.
I have been misjudged and for that
I will scratch a rabid fang
across the world, in small gnaws,
& call it vengeance.
