Perspective
termites don’t woo wolves.
a humpback whale
can’t jackknife with worms
in the muck.
azotobacters, even,
in hierachies of rot,
take a stand.
traces of apatosaurs
scream in petroleum.
no beetle speaks
salamander speaks chub.
an eon for an organelle
whispers midnight to a raven.
angels envy songbirds,
or even humans, sometimes,
moved by the variations on loneliness
in the notes.
============================================
8/11 ... more edits ... lots
2/17 ... "whispers midnight to" replaces "means midnight for" ... "the variations" replaces "variations"
