…or, “how the Milk Carton Haiku handed me my ass, and i liked it”…

shaving this form?
topping fingertips
and trimming feet

tied to my chair!
immobilized in
seductive treat

my words whimper
until their howling
bleeds into roar

my mind quivers,
bows before concept,
croaks the word: “more.”

realignment:
old precepts straining,
challenging now

ability
finding the ballpark —
brings you this cow.
