Howl the same way for the flesh of a man.”

a pot of dates
in a blind mans hand,
Mothers,

and theyre jealous of me!
The cobras hood
has come out of its tail.”

Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts
found
The honey of peace in old poems.”
