THOUGHT ON THOUGHT

Do you object to 
sexual encounters in the clan 
to save a semi-god 
from extinction? 

A political consideration? 
For you becoming an otherself 
for future generation? 

I will not return to the cave 
for a bell jar of bones in 
the dominion of nature. 

The creamy layer of bats 
in dark, pursing the lips 
to give a truth curdling lie. 

I think, I should not think 
of sun, water and clouds 
and of mundane predictions.
