Unbounded Nameless Future - Krill

About six months ago

I went into my calendar

And I planned

The rest of my life

I only got two months in

And beyond that I just wrote

«Unbounded nameless future»

Now we have arrived

In unbounded nameless future

And how could who you are

Not be bound up in who you were?

About three days ago

I flipped all the way to the end

And I thought:

«What then?»

That’s just where I got tired of

Writing those three dumb words out

Good bye, mouth

Now I have arrived

In unbounded nameless future

And who could my blue heart

Not be totally bound up in your hair

A dead deer

Eyes Steve from

The side of the road

And roadkill

Knows more than

Steve’ll ever know

And somehow

A dog walks

From mountains and gin

And sometimes

How I wish

I were part of him

To be his tail, wagging

To be his tongue, lolling

To be his mouth, waiting

For meat, salivating

He sticks his snout into the carcass

And sinks his tooth into flesh

Deer can’t scream so she just hardens

Her heart and begs the dog to take what’s left

«Take what’s left!»
