I surrender my cold frame

into the warm jungle-print cushion

of the chair facing the golden morning

soul trapped in an aging carcass

smelling seeing or hearing

seems like a hollow existence

if you like, I can put the kettle on

or should I find something stronger

to lubricate the conversation

wherever it goes
