Incognito As Summer

your elbow out the Chevy window

draws me close to wonder

how grief

alters your wolf’s grin


no one doubts the princess

weeps for the king’s death

(divined by the chorus)

falls for the conquering lord


apples, citrus, grapes, tea

— nitrogen, phosphate, and sugar — 

our helix of chemical bonds

chronicles wounds

like the Mahabharata


lyrics and melody

preview the roles we play

shooters and callers

dealers and spenders


every charmed rope

unspooling
