Forsaken-ism*

‘Forsakenism’

Life is about dress
and undressing
the preference for frill
and forced nudity;
the wayside flower
tryst with boot,
the dog-tag of the living
statistical residencies
that move with wave and boat-ride
from wherever to here to wherever
as masters of fate
and klesha-slaves
in these fashionable times
of trying-on and discarding
where the left behind
and the leavers-behind
label with confidence
and wonder
about the two vultures in the hand
and the dove in the bush.
In private.
