The Larger Part of Him


The downs, the lifts, the burdens, gifts –
dark passions he regrets –
how interesting it might turn out
to care for them like pets.

Species from his secret zoo
allowed a bit of air –
the chance to sniff a whiff of here
and taste a tang of there –

might lend a tantalizing zing
to consciousness: a boost –
and give the larger part of him
a place, at last, to roost.
