A gifted body,
crafted from the best grade
flesh and springs,
with the thorn they plucked
from the lion's paw
now deep in the heel
of that body's foot.
This is good sense
misguided by a narrow point
of view. You wanted to reach
into your hamper of ideas
and share them around.
Chestnuts for a hot summer?
Peaches for winter?
Not to worry:
think of it like the stone
you gathered for a house
but ended up using for a path,
or think of those people
who make jewellery from bones.
Somewhere, there has to be
a false start.
